Caciocavallo scamosciato

We are in the heart of Irpinia, among unspoiled pastures and aromatic herbs, where Milk Coop produces various types of cheeses and dairy products, including caciocavallo scamosciato.

The caciocavallo scamosciato:

is obtained through the processing of milk from cows of native breeds typical of the Monti Picentini and the Altopiano del Laceno, the second instead obtained from cow's and sheep's milk. The caciocavallo is left to mature and, depending on the time elapsed, you get a caciocavallo scamosciato or aged caciocavallo. Being a pasta filata (stretched-curd) cheese with a delicate yet intense flavour at the same time. Caciocavallo is perfect to be eaten on its own or with other foods freshly sliced, or used in various culinary preparations. The special feature of Milk Coop's caciocavallo lies in the fine quality of the milk and in the completely artisanal processing methods. A company with ancient roots, which has handed down milk processing from generation to generation. It was 1800 when it all began. Since then, more than 200 years have passed and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has transformed into the Milk Coop Cooperative, joining forces with 8 members who daily supply the milk of the Bagnolese sheep for the production of pecorino cheese. In addition to pecorino, cow's milk from the Irpinia and Sannio pastures is used for the production of other types of aged and fresh cheeses. Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "to preserve cheesemaking as tradition dictates, always aiming to improve the ancient production techniques". The milk of the Milk Coop Cooperative comes from native Campanian breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. In the Cooperative's farms, the times and rhythms of nature are respected. The animals are left free to choose among countless wild herbs in their pastures. This biodiversity gives the milk they provide truly unique organoleptic and sensory properties. The scamosciato, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop Cooperative are seasonal and zero-kilometre.
