De'Magi Taleggio PDO Green label (Aged)
A washed-rind cow's milk Taleggio PDO from Lombardy, matured in the Tuscan cellars of our dear friend Andrea Magi. The Green Label is the slightly older sibling of the Brown, a step further along in age and a step bolder on the palate, with the stamped T on the rind that marks the real PDO.
The paste is semi-soft and properly ripe right now, with a tacky orange washed rind from a salt-water brine and a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth interior that runs just slightly near the edge once it warms up. On the nose it's pungent in that old-school Trappist-monk washed-rind way, but the flavor lands rounder than the aroma, fruity and lightly tangy with a meaty, savory pull and a mushroomy character coming off the rind. The finish carries the brine and the salt of the rind well past the swallow.
Eat the rind on this one, that's where half the flavor lives.
