Description

Caciotta Naturale is the purest, most delicate, and most accessible expression of fresh milk from the pastures of Mantua. Masterfully handcrafted by the cheesemakers at Azienda Agricola Manerba Ermes, it consists of a soft curd that captures the full aroma of freshly milked milk. Its short aging period preserves its melting, soft texture, which is defined by a creamy, buttery sweetness and a delicate, timeless flavor. A cheese of refined simplicity, perfect for those seeking a touch of authentic milky freshness and the gentle poetry of the rural tradition of Lombardy.

MaWa Tip: Extremely delicate and melting, it forms the perfect base for a fresh aperitif, accompanied by Asolo Superiore Rive della Chiesa or with the fruity notes of the non-alcoholic Florì 0.0%  Rive della Chiesa.

Origin of the raw material: Cavriana, Lombardy, Italy. Fresh, whole cow's milk from the region.
Characteristics of the cheese: Soft, melt-in-the-mouth, uniform, creamy white paste with small, sparse eyes.
Processing and coagulation: The cheese is made by hand using liquid rennet, with the curd being carefully broken into walnut-sized pieces to preserve its moisture and softness. It is then shaped in classic, perforated cheese molds and gently placed in brine.
Salting and seasoning: Short maturation in an air-conditioned environment for 30 days, just enough to form a very thin rind and develop the first ripening aromas.
Flavor profile: Sweet, milky, fresh, delicately creamy and free of aggressive notes.

Tasting notes: The Caciotta has a round, cylindrical shape and a smooth, soft, edible rind. On the nose, aromas of fresh milk, cream, and delicate yogurt unfold immediately. On the palate, it is soft, melt-in-the-mouth, and enveloping, offering a sweet, milky bite with a clean, pleasantly refreshing finish.
Pairings: Ideal as an aperitif or served raw on fresh cold cut platters. Melted on warm, toasted bread or combined with fruit salads and citrus marmalades.
Serving temperature: 15–18 °C. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving.
