A member of the great Veneto ‘Latteria’ family. Well adapted to ripening, which is beyond the year, expressing itself at its best when it reaches 24 months in the caves. In our caves we let this cheese mature until the optimally aged of two years, allowing the cheese to obtain the ideal consistency and aromas for tasting.

Caciocchio

Caciocchio

A brand new stretched curd cheese produced with cow's milk which gives a delicate taste, soft consistency and pronounced holes (that gives the name to the cheese).

It is a cheese that can be used as it is or also slightly heated on the plate.
