Fig, Lavato Tart2 Copy

Caciocavallo literally translates to “horse (cavallo) cheese (cacio)” or “cheese on horseback”. The name derives from the Italian tradition of tying cheese forms together in pairs and hanging them over a wooden board to dry age. This pasta filata cheese is made from cow milk. It is stretched by hand into a natural teardrop shape with a knot at the top so that a cord can be tied around the thin end to hang. The caciocavallo is then placed into a smoker and cold-smoked. After three months of aging, caciocavallo takes on a salty and smoked flavour. Smoked caciocavallo is great when enjoyed with a full-bodied wine, grated on top of your favourite dishes or sliced and pan fried to enhance the flavours.
