Carnevale Caciocavallo Cheese - Caciocavallo 375g

A traditional Southern Italian cheese with a rich, savoury flavour

Caciocavallo is one of Southern Italy's traditional stretched-curd cheeses, appreciated for its firm texture, savoury dairy flavour and long history in Italian cheesemaking. Traditionally formed into rounded shapes and hung in pairs to mature, it has been a familiar sight in dairies and cheesemakers' shops across Campania, Puglia, Calabria and Basilicata for generations.

Its flavour is rich and buttery, with a gentle nuttiness and a rounded, savoury character. The smooth, firm texture offers a satisfying bite, while the cheese becomes beautifully soft when warmed. Caciocavallo has a more substantial texture than fresh mozzarella, with a deeper flavour that makes it particularly enjoyable as a table cheese.

Ideal for creating an Italian cheese board alongside cured meats, olives and rustic bread. It is also delicious warmed until softened, tucked into a toasted panino or served with grilled vegetables, where its savoury flavour comes through beautifully.

A versatile cheese that brings a wonderful part of Southern Italy's cheesemaking tradition to the table.
