crotonese
« on: January 30, 2013, 03:31:03 PM »
Does anyone out there know of a recipe for a crotonese cheese? I have searched many sites and have asked some cheese houses with no luck. I even asked the house that sells the mold to make this cheese? They offer many recipes but not this one.
Thank you!

This is a pecorino variant. You make it like a pecorino. Are you trying to clone the flavor? Impossible without using the milk and indigenous flora.

 I won't even try to clone it but will use sheep's milk and follow Gianaclis Caldwell's recipe for extra hard cheese. just need the molds.
Thank you!

A pecorino is not an extra hard cheese. It's similar, but often it is acidified more before drain and also a bit lower before brine. The moisture targets are also higher. I would follow a classic pecorino toscano or pecorino romano recipe.
