Provolone del Monaco DOP

“Provolone del Monaco PDO” is a semi-hard, stretched-curd, aged cheese produced in the Sorrento Peninsula area – in the Lattari Mountains, the mountain range that separates Capri from Sorrento – exclusively from raw milk. The shape, which resembles that of a caciocavallo, is slightly melon-like. What characterizes Provolone del Monaco PDO is the use of milk from Agerolese breed cows, found only in the municipalities of Agerola and Gragnano: this breed, in fact, due to the unique characteristics of the grazing area, produces very high-quality milk, albeit in modest quantities. Its rind, initially thin and yellowish, increases in thickness and changes color as it ages (which can vary from six to eighteen months), tending towards a hazelnut hue. The paste is elastic and compact, without flaking, soft and with fine eyes, offering a sweet and buttery flavor with a light and pleasant spicy note that intensifies over time.

Ingredients: cow's milk, Agerolese milk 20%, kid goat rennet, salt.
origin of milk: Italy
