Hello from France, it is very hot here, I wanted to share my Caciocavallo made homemade. Use raw milk, refine 3 months or more, good taste but not flexible enough (lack moisture) the taste is correct and depends on the bacteria to use. I am a cheese lover and I give 6 out of 10 for taste and texture, thank you.

Hello Col,
Trés bon!
When I make Caciocavallo, I found when I stretched and shaped before it reached correct PH, I lost fat and maybe calcium. The cheese become slightly translucent instead of creamy opaque of a normal cheese. The end result is rather dry and rubbery when melted.
Attached is my Caciocavallo, no. 1 and 2 are good ones, no.3 the rubbery one.

Let's ferment something!
Bread, beer, wine, cheese...it's all good.
