Canestrato di Capra dei Basilischi

Among the oldest cheeses in the traditional Italian cheese.
Dating back as early as the fourth century A.C. , The Enotri, shepherds and farmers turned the milk in typical rush baskets, from there its name.
The production area includes the south, but even more marginal areas unsuitable for grazing by domestic cattle, grazing by goats valued as inland Lucan between the Val d'Agri and Val Basento and it is here that the company Guffanti selects the best canestrato goat.
