Product Insights
Mascarpone is an Italian fresh cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk and cream, classified in the milk and dairy products and cheese groups. It carries a Nutri‑Score of D and is placed in the NOVA 3 category, reflecting its high fat (≈45 g/100 g) and saturated fat (28 g/100 g) content while containing low sugar (3 g) and very low salt (0.08 g). The only listed additive is citric acid (E330) as an acidity regulator, and the product is vegetarian and free of preservatives, though its saturated‑fat level may be a concern for heart‑health‑conscious consumers.
