The flavour was delicious, slightly salty with a very smooth creamy texture. Bill's Farm (my regular cheese monger of choice) claimed the cheese was cave ripened so I was hoping also for a slight underground nuttiness, but if it was there then it escaped my taste buds.
According to the great authority of Wikipedia - Taleggio is made from milk produced when the cows are tired. I'm now looking for recommendations for cheeses made from milk produced when the cows are feeling a little bit feisty.
Unfortunately I neglected to photograph the cave ripened Taleggio before it was vacuumed up at the table - Here's a photo of Nick Cave instead.
