Caciocavallo
€8.50 /Kg
The Caciocavallo is a semi-aged spun paste produced from cow’s milk. Caciocavallo is one the most well-known and appreciated Italian aged cheeses. Its name refers to the technique (still used) of hanging the cheeses in pairs, tied with a string, to age across a beam. In fact the word Caciocavallo should be interpreted as “cacio a cavallo”, where cavallo (literally horse) means the way the cheese (cacio) is hanged across the beam. The flavor is sweet and delicate in the young cheese, slightly spicy seasoned ones.
