Stretched by hand into a teardrop shape, the aged Caciocavallo is smoked over natural beechwood to take on this smokey, salty flavour.
The name of this Southern Italian cheese translates to ‘horse cheese’ referring to the tradition of tying two cheeses together with string and hanging them over a stick to mature which resembled a person sitting on a horse or perhaps the bags often used to carry goods on horseback. The curd is next hand-stretched which allows it to be moulded into the desired shape, in this case a moneybag.
After aging, a gentle smoking over traditional Beechwood imparts a smoky flavour and a golden colour to each cheese.
This aged mozzarella has a medium-firm texture like provolone, a smoky flavour and salty finish. Enjoy grilled for antipasto.
