Smoked Caciocavallo

Uncooked stretched-curd cheese, own-farm cow's milk — Caseificio Arcudi, Soleto (LE). Pear shape, smoked with hardwood, intense and aromatic flavour.

Own-farm milk Artisan smoking 🇮🇹 Italy only

The smoked caciocavallo starts from the traditional Puglian caciocavallo with the addition of a smoking chamber stage. The base is always an uncooked stretched-curd cheese made from cow's milk, with the characteristic pear shape hand-shaped by the master cheesemaker.

The result is a semi-hard cheese with a bold, intense and aromatic flavour. Ageing defines the underlying profile — sweet, medium or piquant — while smoking adds the characteristic woody, fragrant note that sets it apart from the white version.

The process

How caciocavallo is smoked

1 — Selection

High-quality caciocavallo is selected, already shaped and salted, ready for the smoking process.

2 — Hot smoking

The cheese is exposed to smoke from hardwood — oak, beech or hazelnut. The smoke circulates through the smoking chamber for as long as needed to impart the desired flavour, from a few hours to greater intensities.

3 — Cooling and ageing

After smoking the caciocavallo is cooled and left to age. The flavours develop further and the cheese reaches the right texture and softness.

4 — Packaging

Once the process is complete, the smoked caciocavallo is packaged and shipped directly from Caseificio Arcudi.

💡	Excellent as a table cheese with bread and cured meats. Perfect as impiccato: hung near a flame, it melts and drips over bread or vegetables with an irresistible smoky aroma. Ideal also on pizza, baked pasta and meat dishes.
