What to know about mascarpone
Mascarpone is a fresh Italian cream cheese made by curdling cream with a little acid, so it is very high in fat and rich in the milk proteins casein and whey, graded high. Because it is fresh rather than aged, its histamine and tyramine stay moderate rather than high, which makes it gentler than ripened cheeses like parmesan or aged cheddar for histamine-sensitive people. It still carries a moderate load of lactose and dairy protein, so it is not a low-dairy food, but as cheeses go it is one of the calmer choices on histamine.
Watch for
- High in dairy protein (casein and whey), so it can trigger a cow milk allergy like any cream cheese
- Only moderate histamine and tyramine because it is a fresh, unaged cheese, far gentler than aged cheeses but not histamine-free
- Moderate lactose from its cream base, worth watching if you are lactose intolerant and eating a dessert-sized portion
