The company
Milk Coop produces various types of cheeses and dairy products, including
Caciocavallo with Sweet Dried Pepper
Caciocavallo 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.
Caciocavallo is left to mature and, depending on the time elapsed, you get a
scamosciato (semi-aged) 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 to be used in various culinary preparations.
Caciocavallo with Sweet Dried Pepper:
The distinctive feature of Milk Coop's
caciocavallo with dried pepper lies in the fine quality of the milk and in the completely artisanal processing methods. With an intense, slightly spicy flavour.
A company with ancient roots, handing down milk processing from generation to generation.
It was 1800 when it all began. Since then, over 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
pastures of Irpinia and
Sannio is used for the production of other types of
aged and
fresh cheeses.
Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "maintaining cheesemaking as tradition dictates, always aiming to improve 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, natural timing and rhythms 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
scamosciati (semi-aged),
aged and
fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop
Cooperative are
seasonal and
locally sourced.
