Mascapone is a kind of cheese formed by fermenting and solidifying fresh milk and then taking out some water. Commonly used in pizza and cake baking. Lombardy, which originated in northern Italy, is one of the 20 richest districts in Italy, but it is also produced in many countries now.
Mascapone itself is very convenient to make, and it is thickened with whipped cream (also called whipped cream) and tartaric acid. So that the shelf life is short and difficult to preserve, so the market price has been very high. Many people use cream cheese and lemon juice instead of mascarpone, but after all, they are essentially different, so the taste of the finished product will be very different.
Cheese buying skills
Generally, when we buy cheese, the first product marked with milk or milk in the ingredient list is natural cheese. Natural cheese has a hard texture and a high melting point. It feels hard with your hands and doesn't melt easily. Its shapes are very rich, such as long block, flake, broken grain, cylinder and fan, which are common shapes of natural cheese.
Domestic cheese, try to choose big brands with high popularity and good market reputation to avoid buying fakes; If you buy imported cheese, try not to trust Haitao products. Many times, a cheese is good or not, you can see it from the details. For example, whether the packaging is complete, the date of production, and whether the color of cheese is pure.
