Caprino (Trento)

Caprino is a goat’s milk cheese made throughout Italy - the name derives from the Italian word capra, meaning goat. In the region of Trentino Alto Adige, it is produced mainly in the province of Trento, around Val di Fiemme, Predazzo, and Valli Giudicarie.

Made from pasteurized milk and kid or lamb rennet, Caprino Trentino is salted in brine and left to mature for at least 90 days. The crust gets hard and straw-colored, while the interior turns ivory-white, compact and greasy in texture. This delicious table cheese is best enjoyed paired with local red wines of medium alcohol content.
