Mascarpone

A delicacy unique to the Lombardy region, Mascarpone is technically a rich dairy product obtained by thickening fresh cream with citric acid or tartaric acid, rather than a conventional cheese. Containing a minimum of 80% milk fat, this traditional product is one of the cornerstones of Italian pastry and cuisine with its intense creaminess and velvety consistency.

It features an inherently sweet, butter-like rich flavor profile and a smooth texture. Its ability to remain homogeneous without curdling when exposed to acidity makes it an excellent thickener for both desserts and savory sauces. Real Mascarpone offers a light and silky texture that melts in the mouth without leaving any greasy residue.

At Pizzeria Pera, we use exclusively 100% authentic Italian Mascarpone in the Tiramisù we serve to our guests. You can create a wonderful finale to your meal by ordering a limoncello or a glass of prosecco alongside your dessert.
