Description

Caciocavallo is a traditional Italian cheese made from cow’s milk, known for its distinctive shape and versatile flavour profile. When young, it offers a firm, smooth texture and a mild, slightly salty taste. As it matures, it becomes more granular and develops a sharper, more robust flavour, making it perfect for grating over pasta or vegetables. Whether you're enjoying it fresh, melted, or grilled in the popular southern Italian style known as caciocavallo impiccato, this cheese is a staple for any enthusiast of authentic Italian dairy. If you're looking for caciocavallo cheese in the UK, Affetto Italiano offers the real deal.

How to enjoy

Slice and serve with olives, cured meats, or rustic bread. Melt it over grilled vegetables or toast, or try it grilled on an open flame for a classic caciocavallo impiccato experience. As it ages, grate it over baked dishes for a rich and savoury finish.

Origin

Caciocavallo has deep roots in Southern Italy, particularly in regions such as Calabria and Campania. Traditionally aged by hanging in pairs, this cheese reflects centuries of artisanal craftsmanship and rural tradition. It remains one of Italy’s most recognisable and loved stretched-curd cheeses.
