Fresh Mozzarella di Bufala has become a common item on many menus. Now there is an exciting new semi-aged Italian water buffalo cheese to add to the mix - Caciotta di Bufala. Caciotta (named for cacio, the alternate Italian word for cheese) is simply a type of smaller-sized Italian cheese.<p></p>This cheese is made in one of the most famous areas in Italy for water buffalo milk - in the Caserta area of Campania in south-central Italy near Naples. The producers successfully combine ancient cheese making traditions with a careful selection of milk coming from water buffalo grazing on inland mountain pastures. <p></p>Caciotta di Bufala is an innovative cheese - not the usual fresh style, but rather, a semi-soft wheel that is aged 60 days. The careful cheese making process yields a soft, rich, creamy cheese that is notable for its delicate, pleasant taste with a slightly sour aftertaste typical of bufala milk. It has an intriguing finish that tastes decidedly Mediterranean, bringing to mind olives, savory salami, and sunny mountains. <p></p>This Caciotta is sure to win the hearts of Italian cheese fans, especially those in search of a new style of buffalo cheese.<p><ul><li>Made from buffalo milk.</li><li>Photo depicts whole 4.5 pound form of cheese.</li><li>We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.</li><li>Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.</li>
