Caciocavallo

Caciocavallo is a sharp, semi-hard cheese from southern Italy that is similar to provolone. It has a distinct al-dente texture that gives it a chewy, satisfying bite. Caciocavallo is typically aged for 2-6 months, and its flavor becomes more complex and nutty with age.

    Pairing Caciocavallo with Wine

    Caciocavallo pairs well with light white wines such as Chardonnay or Falanghina. These wines have enough acidity to cut through the cheese's richness, while their fruit flavors complement the cheese's nutty notes. If you prefer red wine, a light-bodied red such as Aglianico del Vulture would also be a good choice.
