Crotonese Cheese – 2kg
$9.39 – 100 gr
Crotonese cheese comes from Calabria in southern Italy.
Its production is long and usually it takes place from January to June. First the milk is heated at a temperature of 38°C, then the rennet is added to form the “cagliata”. This paste is then broken with a “mscu” an appropriate wooden stick, the “cagliata” is then heated again at a temperature of 44°C. The paste is then modeled to create the forms. These forms are then salted for some days. They then are left to ripe for 12 months.
It has a sweet and salty flavor. It is usually served with spicy pear and apple mustard, pasta and homemade bread.
This is a pre-order cheese and waiting period to receive it is approximately 2 weeks.
