Mascarpone: If you've ever tasted mascarpone, you've probably fallen in love with its soft, velvety texture and buttery-rich flavor. Mascarpone is produced when a culture is added to the heavy cream that's skimmed off cow's milk. Originating in the Lombardy region of southern Italy, mascarpone may have gotten its name from the local word for ricotta, mascherpa, since the two are similar in texture. Mascarpone is used primarily in desserts, but it also adds richness to pasta and savory dishes.
