Caciocavallo Silano DOP (Whole) 2kg

Description & Tasting Notes
Caciocavallo is a popular style of cheese made throughout southern Italy – the cheese-maker stretches the curd and ties it off in a knot at the top, creating its unusual shape. Caciocavallo Silano DOP has a thin, pale rind and is a light yellow colour inside. Younger cheeses have a pleasant mild slightly milky flavour and pliable texture, while more mature cheese have a pronounced tangy, piquant bite and a firmer texture.

Other Notes & Serving Suggestions
This is a versatile cheese. It works well on an antipasti platter accompanied with cured meats and olives, or on a cheese platter paired with fuller-bodied white wines such as Chardonnay and Catarratto, or dry red varietals. Younger cheeses can also be used for cooking and melted in baked and grilled dishes such as involtini or fritters.
