Caciotta

Caciotta refers to a range of rural Italian cheeses from central Italy. They're made from cow's, ewe's, goat's, buffalo's milk, or any combination of those. The cheese has a thin rind which hides a creamy, smooth, and semi-soft texture beneath it.

The flavors are mild, sweet, milky, and slightly tangy, while the aromas are slightly sour and lactic. Caciotta is aged for a short while, under 2 months. It's recommended to pair the cheese with Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc, and serve it with vegetables, fruit, pasta, or in salads.
