Aged deep within natural caves, Caciocavallo di Grotta undergoes a nine-month maturation process, developing a bold, nutty complexity and an unmistakable depth of flavor. This handcrafted pasta filata (stretched-curd) cheese, made from the finest cow’s milk, is carefully aged in temperature-controlled grottos, where it absorbs the earthy, mineral-rich nuances of its environment.
During aging, Caciocavallo di Grotta transforms from a smooth and semi-firm cheese into a dense, crumbly masterpiece with a buttery richness, hints of caramel and toasted nuts, and a distinct umami finish. Its sharp, slightly spicy undertones intensify over time, making it a true delicacy for cheese connoisseurs.
