A classic, stretched curd cheese, our caciocavallo is soft yet sharp in flavour with a toothsome bite. Moulded by hand into a pear shape, the cheeses are paired, tied with string and placed over a horizontal stick or branch to cure in a cool room. It is thought the name (it translates as "cheese on horseback") hails from a time when the caciocavello was traditionally transported slung over the saddles of soldiers.
Culatello Traditional without rind
A stunning, naturally aged ham that's justifiably dubbed the king of salumi. Salted and hung for almost a year, this ham relies on the climate of the flatlands of the Po river to give it its unique sweet taste. Made using a whole ham that is then cured and cut back until only the sweetest "fillet" remains, the art of making culatello has been passed down through generations and is still made by small producers adhering to the old traditions. To do full justice to this magnificent product, serve as the centrepiece of a grand platter of mixed cured meats.
