Calabro Caciocavallo Cheese, 1.75 lb

Calabro Caciocavallo Cheese brings a taste of Sicilian tradition to your table, crafted in the time-honored style that has defined southern Italian cheesemaking for centuries. The name "caciocavallo"—meaning "cheese on horseback"—reflects the unique aging process in which pairs of cheese are tied and hung over a wooden beam, allowing the air to shape their flavor and texture. Calabro’s interpretation of this classic cheese is air-dried and aged for a minimum of two to six weeks, developing a firm yet supple body that sets it apart from fresh mozzarella while preserving a sense of creamy richness at its core.

With each slice, Caciocavallo reveals a salty tang and a sharp, lingering finish, making it an exceptional table cheese for savoring on its own or as part of an antipasto platter. Its robust character stands up beautifully when baked into traditional Italian recipes, melted over roasted vegetables, or incorporated into savory pies. The cheese’s golden rind and pale interior hint at the depth of flavor inside, offering a sensory experience that balances the brightness of fresh milk with the complexity of careful aging.

Serve Calabro Caciocavallo Cheese alongside cured meats, crusty bread, and olives for a classic Mediterranean spread, or grate it over baked pasta dishes to add a savory kick. However you choose to enjoy it, this cheese invites you to explore the rich culinary heritage of Sicily, one bite at a time. Consult the package label for ingredient, allergen and dietary information.
