Organic goat's cheese aged in hay
Organic Goat's Caciottona with Hay is a dairy treasure from the lush green hills of the province of Belluno. This unique cheese is made from organic goat's milk, which comes from the same stables that supply the organic hay used in the maturing process.
Since the hay is made from natural, aromatic grass, it gives the cheese a distinctive aroma of sun-dried grass. This special aroma is the result of the close link between the land, the stables and the cheese-making process. Organic hay gives Caciottona di Capra a unique and unmistakable personality.
But the role of hay goes beyond the sensory aspect of the cheese. In the past, hay had a practical function: it was used to cover the cheese during production and maturation. This practice allowed cheesemakers to hide their product while protecting it from the prying eyes of neighbors. Thus, cheese wrapped in hay became a hidden treasure, to be revealed only when the time came to enjoy it.
