Aged Cilento Goat's Cacioricotta Cheese

The Cacioricotta Slow Food Presidium from Azienda La Petrosa is an authentic treasure of Campania's dairy tradition, a unique cheese that encapsulates the flavors and knowledge of the Cilento and Vallo di Diano National Park (P.A.T.). This extraordinary product is made from fresh goat's milk, which is processed immediately to preserve its freshness and quality. The production of Cacioricotta combines the techniques for making both cacio and ricotta, giving the cheese an unmistakable texture and taste. The artisanal process involves the use of cylindrical molds, which give the cheese its characteristic shape. Each piece of Cacioricotta weighs about 210 grams, a perfect size to fully appreciate its flavor. The dry salting, carried out manually by rubbing fine salt on both sides of the cheese, enhances the authentic taste of Cacioricotta. After an average aging period, the cheese develops a semi-hard crust that encases a soft and flavorful heart, ideal for being enjoyed in various culinary preparations.
