Caciobarricato
Caciobarricato is a pulled curd ‘pasta filata’ cheese, aged in barrels with red wine and marc. The curd is pulled and twisted to give it a soft, elastic, stringy quality.
The Caciobarricato cheese from La Casearia Carpenedo is a treasure trove of flavors and emotions. Antonio Carpenedo has been able with great skill to create a real experience that leads us to live a sensory journey in this Italian typicality received in his book of drunk cheeses. Flavour is medium intense with strong hints of wine.
Caciocavallo is a piece of history, spread for centuries since the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The milk coming from Podolic cows that graze in the wild, gives the cheese the flavors of nature. In love with these flavors, Antonio has obtained with the Ubriaco method in barrique, the perfect fusion of the dairy tradition of Caciocavallo and that of wine. Cheese made with cow’s milk, before being drunk it is aged for at least 3 months.

Despite its name, it is not exclusively produced on the Sila but in five other regions of southern Italy or, rather, in the districts carefully specified by the regulations. An important characteristic of Silano Caciocavallo is the handmade paste that results in perfect softness whilst, in contrast, machine made paste tends to be ‘rubbery’.

Casizolu Slow Food Presidio
Despite being known as a land of sheep and sheep’s cheese, the Montiferru area, an enchanting corner of Sardinia a few kilometers from Oristano, is also home to an ancient, highly prized, stretched-curd cow’s milk cheese. In the past it was traditionally made by women, who processed the fresh milk, working the curds in hot water to form the cheese’s typical rounded pear shape. When the cheese is aged for longer than a couple of months, it starts to unite green, grassy, buttermilk notes with hints of forest and leaves and a slightly almondy finish.

Sasso Nero Mila
The cheese is enclosed in a black and dry crust that highlights its singularity, preserving the strong aroma. The fine cellar scents of the crust evoke the place of maturation. The paste is compact and is characterized by a color that varies from light yellow to straw yellow. The Sasso Nero has a crystalline structure and a slightly melting consistency in the mouth. Its typical flavor and the notes of roasted chestnuts, dried fruit and honey are the result of the long aging. The aftertaste has sweet notes of caramel and chocolate. Its flavor is therefore very complex, vigorous and unmistakable. A cheese of character and distinct recognizability.

After two weeks of ripening, the cheese is smoked. The smoked variant, called ‘Scamorzi Affumicate’ is made by smoking the cheese over flaming straw for around 10 to 15 minutes. A fresh version of Scamorza is also sold within a few days of production.
The texture of Scamorza is elastic, stringy and has less moisture than Mozzarella. In addition, the flavour is more piquant, milky and creamy. Smoked Scamorza has a subtle, smoky flavour with a sweet, light caramel note.
Scamorza is used as a substitute for Mozzarella as it imparts more interest in the recipe. Since Scamorza has excellent melting qualities, it is best known to flavour baking dishes, for griddling or topped with prosciutto for extra zest. The smoky flavour of Scamorza pairs well with oak-aged Chardonnay, Pinot Girgio or Orvieto.
