Caciocavallo Silano PDO - Semi-mature - Whole

Caciocavallo Silano PDO is a dairy excellence rooted in a millennia-old tradition of Southern Italy. Produced mainly in the mountainous areas of the Sila, it strictly follows the specifications of the consortium, which guarantees the authenticity of the PDO label. This cheese is made exclusively with raw cow's milk, processed by expert cheesemakers who preserve ancient production techniques, respecting every step from coagulation to manual stretching. The aging, lasting at least 30 days, results in a stretched curd cheese with a delicate but persistent flavor, a thin and smooth rind that tends to golden with aging.

The company Deliziosa, founded in 1992 by Giovanni D’Ambruoso, is dedicated to producing high-quality cheeses, transforming the best Apulian milk into specialties appreciated worldwide. Thanks to strict quality controls and the use of excellent raw materials, each wheel of Caciocavallo Silano encapsulates the authentic taste of tradition and territory.

Caciocavallo Silano PDO stands out for its carefully regulated production process. The production specifications require that the milk be processed within 24 hours of milking, ensuring the freshness and organoleptic properties of the product. Once stretched, the curd is hand-molded into its characteristic teardrop shape, then tied with a string for aging in ventilated environments.

Belonging to the Protection Consortium of Caciocavallo Silano ensures that every stage of production meets the standards set for DOP recognition. This consortium, created to protect and enhance the cheese, monitors quality, from the milk source to the distribution of the finished product, promoting the image and dissemination of this unique cheese internationally.

By choosing Caciocavallo Silano PDO, you bring to the table a piece of history, a product that fully expresses the culture and flavors of Southern Italy, crafted with passion and care in respect of tradition.
