Caciocavallo Silano DOP Calabria
Caciocavallo Silano is on of the most famous cheeses of Southern Italy, in particular of the Sila, a wide Mountain land in Calabria, where it is produced. This cheese has incredibly ancient origins, that, however, did not prevent manufacturers to preserve its original characteristics, allowing Caciocavallo Silano to obtain the DOP mark.
The most particular characteristic of Caciocavallo Silano is its shape, with an oval body.
The rind is smooth, thin, pale yellow and it becomes more intense during the seasoning. Inside, Caciocavallo Silano has different characteristics, depending on the maturation period. After some weeks, the hard cheese assumes a more intense, the typical holes appear and the taste becomes more spicy.
Its slow, careful maturing process gives it a firm, compact texture, with an intense, slightly piquant flavor that becomes increasingly piquant as the cheese matures. Aged for 2 months.
