About The Product
Puglia Cheese Mascarpone is a handmade, extra thick Italian-style cream cheese produced at Puglia Cheese's artisan facility in Somerset West, made from 100% South African milk using the traditional method that defines authentic mascarpone. Richer and considerably thicker than standard cream cheese, mascarpone is produced by acidifying full-fat cream rather than milk, resulting in a smooth, dense, almost buttery texture with a clean, subtly sweet flavour. Puglia's version is described as extra thick and creamy, reflecting the same commitment to quality and craft that has made their burrata and mozzarella range the most awarded in South Africa.
Equally at home in sweet and savoury kitchens, mascarpone is one of the most versatile dairy ingredients in Italian cooking, used across a wide range of preparations from classic desserts to pasta sauces and savoury finishing applications. Supplied in a 250g tub, it suits restaurants, premium delis, and specialty food retailers across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for a locally produced, artisan mascarpone with genuine Italian character.
About Puglia Cheese
Puglia Cheese was founded in Cape Town in 2010 by three Italian friends from the Puglia region, driven by a simple ambition: to bring authentic Italian mozzarella craft to South Africa. What began as a small artisan dairy quickly earned recognition, winning multiple awards at the South African Dairy Championships and becoming the first producer of burrata in the country.
Every cheese in the Puglia range is made by hand using traditional Italian methods, from fresh Fior di Latte and burrata to scamorza, ricotta, and a dedicated pizza mozzarella. Locally produced but authentically Italian in character, Puglia Cheese brings genuine artisan dairy quality to professional kitchens and retailers across South Africa.
