Cow, goat, buffalo or even cheese mixed with different types of milk. There is something for everyone, for those who like the strongest and most fragrant flavors, but also for those who prefer more delicate and buttery products.

But pay attention to the latest warning from the Ministry of Health, which takes the trouble to report products and packaging on the market that appear to be counterfeits. A popular type of cheese is said to be in danger, so buying in markets and supermarkets should definitely be avoided.

Problems with this brand of taleggio cheese: absolutely not to buy

Just yesterday morning, the latest call from the Ministry of Health, always ready to issue opinions on the counterfeiting of foodstuffs, thus avoiding discomfort and problems for consumers.

The aforementioned recall relates specifically to a specific brand of taleggio cheese. It would seem to be a microbiological risk, that is to say the infection of the dairy product by microscopic bacteria or viruses, which could therefore endanger the health of those who ingest it.

The brand indicated by the ministerial note is Pascoli del Fattore, a brand from the province of Brescia that deals with products of various kinds, in particular cheeses. In this case, it seems to have been contaminated the packaging of Taleggio PDO raw milk, often present in supermarkets throughout Italy.

Therefore, the recall is intended to warn citizens and consumers not to purchase this type of cheese, or not to eat it if it has already been purchased. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Pascoli del Fattore has made a microbiological mistake.

Taleggio is a very popular Italian product, a specialty made from raw cow’s milk, soft and with a washed rind. It is a typical cheese from northern Italy, in particular it takes its name from the homonymous valley located in the province of Bergamo.
