Caprino del Molise

Caprino is a goat’s milk cheese made throughout Italy - the name derives from the Italian word capra, meaning goat. It the region of Molise, it is produced mainly around Montefalcone del Sannio, in the province of Campobasso. Made from raw milk, it is dry-salted and left to mature for at least two months, but that period can be prolonged.

The crust is hard and straw-colored, while the interior remains white, soft, and moist. It is usually served as a table cheese, while the aged version can also be grated over pasta dishes.
