Liuzzi Cheese Caciocavallo 1.5 lb

Liuzzi Cheese Caciocavallo in a net (approx. 1.5 lb) is a hand-stretched, Southern Italian-style pasta filata (stretched curd) cheese, recognized for its pear-shaped, gourd-like appearance. This semi-hard, cow's milk cheese is encased in a white net, tied, and hung to age, offering a buttery, tangy, and slightly sharp flavor profile. Key Characteristics & Product Details: * Brand/Product: Liuzzi Cheese Caciocavallo, packaged in a protective net (approx. 1.5 lbs). * Appearance: Gourd-shaped with a smooth, firm, and thin rind. It is often tied in pairs. * Flavor Profile: Buttery, nutty, and slightly peppery, with a zesty, tangy finish similar to aged provolone. * Usage: Versatile for slicing, melting on pizza, grating over pasta, or enjoying on a charcuterie board with robust red wines. * Manufacturing: Hand-stretched and formed, then soaked in a salt solution for 80 minutes, and hung to dry, often aged for 45+ days. * Storage: Keep refrigerated.
