What it is
Formaggio Valtellina Casera DOP is an Italian cheese supplied as an approximately 8 kg wheel. The DOP designation is part of the product name; the reference is intended for professional cutting, display and kitchen use.
Reference and format
The CAF reference is supplied as one large 8 kg wheel. This format gives the kitchen flexibility to cut slices, wedges or cooking portions as required by the menu.
Organoleptic profile
The product reference describes a compact, pale straw-coloured paste with slight openings, balanced sweetness and a gently piquant finish. It can be enjoyed cold or used for melting and cooking.
Professional uses and quantities
For a cheese board, start with about 80 to 120 g per guest and adapt to the offer. Slice it for service, grate or shave it over pasta and risotto, melt it into baked dishes, or pair it with bread and red wine.
Errors to avoid
Do not cut more than the service needs, leave the wheel exposed to air for long periods or heat it too aggressively. When melting, use moderate heat for a smooth texture.
Storage and handling
Keep the wheel refrigerated under the conditions stated on the label, protect the cut surface and rewrap it after portioning. Use clean tools and keep the cheese away from strong odours.
