Weil ich in den letzten Tagen deutlich mehr gegessen habe, als gut für mich sein kann, schaue ich mir jetzt Videos über nicht ganz gewöhnliche Käsesorten an. In dem speziellen Fall hier über Caciocavallo, einer sehr eigenen Sorte, die in Süditalien hergestellt wird. Guten Appetit.
„Caciocavallo Arginato“ might be the most complex cheese I’ve ever tried. It’s made in Ceglie Messapica, Puglia, Italy and is aged in a custom made mold of raw clay. Caciocavallo is a traditional cheese made in this part of southern Italy, and it’s made with the pasta filata (stretched curd) method that gives it a very special texture. These cheeses typically age in caves where there are already high levels of humidity, but aging it in clay supercharges it: it speeds up the process but also gives it a unique taste (hint: it reminded me of Greek olive oil!). I visited cousin duo Pietro and Pietro at Masseria Fragnite to see how it’s made.
