Caciocavallo Auricchio in Switzerland
Authentic Italian pasta filata caciocavallo, delivered fresh in the cold chain to restaurants, pizzerias and private customers throughout Switzerland.
A pasta filata cheese from the heart of Southern Italy
Caciocavallo is a stretched-curd cheese with a classic sack shape, tied in pairs and hung "straddling" a pole to age. When young it is sweet and lactic, with aging it becomes stronger and slightly spicy.
What we offer is the Caciocavallo Auricchio, produced by the historic Gennaro Auricchio dairy since 1877: only cow's milk, compact texture and impeccable spinning that makes it perfect both in the kitchen and on the cutting board.
