Caciocavallo is produced with cow’s milk and with the addition of only ren’s, lactic ferments and salt.
The classic preservation method give the name to this cheese. It is preserved, in fact, hung on horseback (hence the name) of a beam for drying and is shaped in the shape of number 8 with two round bodies joined by a bottleneck at the point of support on the beam.
Cows destined for production are bred in the wild, grazing in the Mediterranean bush in places rich in shrubs and undergrowth essences. The presence of aromatic plants in the area where the animal has been fed characterizes its aromatic notes and the scents of caciocavallo.
