Caciocavallo 3 month

[Hande]

Hi,
My Caciocavallo get 3 month birthday 
Raw cow milk and no lipase. My wife don't like taste of lipase.  But I really like.
Peter Dixon say that if you don't use lipase you need  ripen at least 6 month to get real taste.
I think I go one year if all going well.

It's progressing well. Looks good, Hande.

How does it smell?

I try to smell it very closely, and that boy has very mild earthy smell.
I try also Romano with lipase and there is it, great smell

I was surprised to realize the Romano I made with lipase was identical in taste and smell to the Asagio I buy from the store.  I need to try some good quality samples of Asagio, parmesan, and Romano just to make sure I know what they should taste and smell like.  Are yours matched up to what you expected?

What does Caciocavallo taste and smell like?

I was last summer in Veneto and there I get just great Asiago, Taleggio and Caciocavallo.
So now I'm big fan for those cheese  : ) but Caciocavallo is more southern Italy cheese.
There is so many style Caciocavallo: young (table),stuffed, aged. smoked, cheep or cow..you name it.
My goal is aged Provolone style grating cheese.
