Caciocavallo is an extraordinary mature cheese classic of south Italy and of Puglia in particular. This version is the "smoked" one, so tasty and flavoured. It's great as a starter together with salami, olives or pickled vegetables, but also as ingredient of your favorite recipes, such as rolls, meatballs or others.
The weight of the standard size of the whole caciocavallo varies from approximately 1.8 kg, depending on the skill of the cheesemaker.
Mature Caciocavallo is an uncooked stretched curd cheese. The milk from which it is obtained is cow's milk. Its shape is curious and somewhat reminiscent of a pear. It is not a shape that it takes naturally, but it is the master cheesemaker who gives it to it with his hands. In short, a true work of art! Once the caciocavallo has been shaped, it is immersed in water so that it can cool and begin to firm up. The caciocavallo is then salted and hung to mature.
The result is a mature cheese with a semi-hard texture. Its taste is strong and intense, due to the presence of rennet, a natural coagulant. It is the length of maturation, however, that gives this cheese its characteristic sweet, medium or spicy flavor. The longer the maturation, the more intense the flavor!
Horses have nothing to do with it! The name comes from the fact that in ancient times the caciocavallo wheels were hung to mature right across a beam.
