Caprino cheese

The Caprino from Alto Mugello is a high-quality cheese made exclusively from goat's milk, available in fresh and mature varieties. The fresh Caprino features a white, creamy texture and is often flavored with arugula, pepper, and chives, making it ideal for spreading on Tuscan bread. The mature Caprino, on the other hand, has a straw-yellow color and a more intense acidic flavor, with an aroma that varies depending on the seasonings and aging process. This cheese is produced exclusively in the Alto Mugello region, where production does not fully meet the growing demand. The goats, raised at an altitude of 500 to 650 meters, graze freely, imparting unique flavors to the milk. The production process involves adding rennet, lactic ferments, and salt, with the curds collected in molds for drying. Savor the authenticity of Caprino from Alto Mugello!
