The classic Caciocavallo from Agerola is made by using the same ingredients and the same process as the Fiordilatte. Once the curd is obtained though, it is immersed again into boiling whey to be cooked. This operation makes the curd drier and the final cheese more lasting. CACIOCAVALLO, in fact, is best to eat at least after 10 days from its production, in order to fully taste its creamy consistency. The whole stage of moulding is done manually. Caciocavallo is especially suited for cutting boards and it’s used in many recipes of the local tradition. It can be also smoked.
