About Caciocavallo siciliano cheese

Caciocavallo Siciliano is a stretched-curd cheese associated with Sicily, made from cow’s milk. It is typically shaped into a pear-like form with a neck or head, often tied in pairs for hanging. The paste is pale and compact, becoming firmer as the cheese matures; its flavour can be milky when young and more savoury and pronounced with age.

It is eaten in slices, served at the table, or used in cooking, including melting and grilling. Forms and flavour vary with maturation and producer. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish fresh or younger cheese from aged cheese, and take account of milk composition and any differences in moisture or processing.
