INTRODUCTION
Mascarpone: One of the North Italian most traditional dairy
products.
In the past, till the first part of the last century, Mascarpone
cheese was a typically seasonal product as it was fresh without
any type of ageing, it was only made in the winter, as the cold
helped to keep it, reducing the risk of fermentations and
microbial contamination. This because the available cream was
obtained from natural separation during the production of the
local traditional hard cheese (become then Grana Padano and
Parmigiano Reggiano) enriched in bacteria.
In the last 30 years, the need to have Mascarpone all year round
and to increase its storability so that it can be sold outside its
area of origin as well, has made it necessary to introduce a series
of modifications to the production method with, as one of the
aims, respecting the regulations on storage.
