Description

The Caciotta specialty from the Manerba Ermes farm is a successful blend of the delicate, melting sweetness of fresh cow's milk cheese and the aromatic power of traditional spices. It is offered in two varieties – with black pepper or chili – with the spices incorporated directly into the cheese during the molding process. Ground black pepper provides a crisp, balsamic contrast, while chili adds a warm, lively, and enticing note. This dynamic and visually appealing cheese delights the palate and captivates with its creamy, delicate texture.

MaWa Tip: The enticing spiciness of the cheese is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the Lugana DOC Tenuta Corbari or elegantly enveloped by the velvety softness of the Franciacorta Satèn Tenuta Moraschi .

Origin of raw material: Cavriana, Lombardy, Italy.
Characteristics of the pasta: Soft, milky, with coarsely ground black pepper or dried chili flakes incorporated.
Processing and coagulation: Processed with liquid rennet. Before being filled into cheese molds, black peppercorns or chili flakes are added to the heated cheese mass by hand. Salting in brine.
Salting and seasoning: A short aging period of 60 days allows the essential oils of the spices to penetrate the fat matrix of the milk.
Flavor profile: Aromatic, lively, soft, with a perfect balance between milky sweetness and spicy/peppery notes.

Tasting notes:

  • Pepper variety: The nose unfolds with sweet notes of cream and fresh butter, enlivened by a balsamic yet piquant scent of black pepper. On the palate, the cheese is creamy with a crisp, warm contrast, leaving a pleasant, aromatic finish.
  • Chili variety: A red-speckled rind. Warm and spicy notes on the nose. On the palate, the initial milky softness merges with an increasing spice, balanced and never overpowering.

Pairings: Ideal for enhancing gourmet appetizer platters, refining savory pâtés, or melting on warm bruschetta. It harmonizes excellently with full-bodied white wines or young, easy-drinking red wines.
Serving temperature: 15–18 °C. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
