Caciocavallo Podolico

This particular variety of Caciocavallo (considered the best and more noble example, defined by some as the Parmigiano Reggiano of the South) takes its name from the breed of cattle used for its production. The Podolica cows live in a free range condition in the Mediterranean brush, feeding on strongly aromatic grasses such as wild fennel, liquorice and laurel bay whose perfumes are absorbed into the milk.  Podolico Caciocavallo necessitates a lengthy ripening period which can sometimes be prolonged for several (it is claimed, sometimes as long as twelve) years.  As for all the other kinds of Caciocavallo, the cheeses are ripened by hanging the forms roped together in pairs over a beam or a stick (a cavallo- on horseback) and it is this method that has given the cheese its name.

Storico Ribelle Presidio Slow Food

Storico Ribelle cheese is produced exclusively in the summer months on the alp cattle consists of dairy cows (traditionally alpine brown race) and goats (native breed of orobica Valgerola) is conducted on the pastures in June and stayed there, conditions weather permitting, until the month of September. Cattle and goats feed exclusively on the mountain pasture, to be regulated in fact it is prohibited to integrate the feeding with feed and silage; the environment of the Alps Orobie, for exposure, for the abundance of  the waterways and for variations in height, has a floral variety that gives the milk of superior quality nutritional properties. The biodiversity of the mountain environment, its scents and flavors, giving unique organoleptic characteristics of each form of history produced in the 12 pastures of the Consorzio di Salvaguardia. The twelve alpine pastures in question – those in the Val Gerola are particularly important – are mainly steep and rocky and this explains why cow herding is accompanied by goats and the subsequent inclusion of goat’s milk in Formaggio Valli del Bitto cheese. The power supply has a positive effect on the qualitative aspects of milk making it rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and an essential fatty acid of the omega-3 series, both known for its beneficial effects on our health.

“BuonaSorte” Guffanti (+24 mesi)

When man discovered how to preserve milk (by coagulating it), history took a precise direction. Amongst the historic cheeses, a place of honour is reserved for those characterised by the granular structure of the paste which lends itself not so much to cutting as to fracturing into delicious flakes and grating. Sumptuous cheeses, respectful of the cycle of two daily milkings - one in the evening and the other in the morning - obtained by combining the two milks which must have different stamps, widespread where the pastureland allows large daily quantities of cow's milk to be obtained. So cheeses from very precise orographic areas of the pianura Padana and the result of rigorous processes for productions that valorise the starting milk. The BuonaSorte Guffanti cheese is an example of this, heir to a solid and recognised tradition in the Lodigiana area to which we wish to give testimony, in an appropriate manner and in observance of up-to-date technical/sanitary dictates. So a cheese that no longer makes a drop, because today it is pressed so as to avoid leaving too many whey residues. A cheese that no longer has greenish notes and nuances in the colour of the paste, because today the resting of the evening milk, destined for skimming, cannot take place in untinned copper basins. Nor does it have a black rind, as this can no longer be treated with the manteca that used to be made of smoky black, cooked linseed oil and rice flour to protect it during rearing. But it is still a great cheese: with a naturally hard and compact rind, protecting the golden yellow interior, slowly maturing, grainy and soft at the same time, very fragrant, with an aromatic flavour with a strong personality, with a great shelf life because it is able to maintain its characteristics unaltered for a long time. Guffanti's choice to promote this cheese fell on a producer from the lower reaches of the River Adda, who uses milk from animals fed with fodder from that area only. One of the customs that has remained unchanged is the jargon of the cheese-makers, who have always called their lots of cheese 'fate' to allude to the obvious fact that there could be better or worse lots due to chance. This is the reason behind the idea of BuonaSorte cheese for cheese lots with good results. The special version produced by Guffanti strictly requests the use of raw milk. An important detail: no lysozyme is used. Happy BuonaSorte Guffanti cheese!!!
