What a beautiful cheese. Thank you Claudia for presenting it.

Wow!! Claudia, for anyone who considers themselves a "cheese lover" or even a bit of a cheese connoisseur, this is a must watch episode! It's fascinating to see the method that speeds up the aging processes, and how hanging, sitting effects the end results! Thanks again Claudia!💯👏

There can't be cheese enough in the world, Greetings from Holland

[@harry.flashman]

RIP Sir Les Patterson and our fallen fromage connoiseurs.

[@andriesscheper2022]

Plenty of cows, cheese and clay in my country. We put herbs in our cheeses as well: cloves, cumin, nettle. We even smoke them. But amount, efficiency and price... well, it may be a work of art... we don't do things this way. Something for a museum? 😊

[@henriquenakamura5752]

You can see how passionate the cheesemakers are about their product. Proud craftsmen make quality stuff.

[@TheGuardingDark]

The Pietros (Pietri?) are such a joy to listen to, so passionate and knowledgeable, and so keen to share both. I could listen to them talk for days, even without subtitles - some things, like passion for a craft, supersede language barriers

[@GNUBRAIN]

That last picture of the interior of the cheese literally brought tears to my eyes. I am hald Italian and somehow these foods oierce my heart every time. PS I love your take on evwerything...!

I haven't heard of this cheese style and clay packaging before. What an interesting video! Thank you.

[@brakorinspaceo81]

I love to see different artisans making use of one anothers profession and financially supporting one another. I know thats not very feasible in the modern world, on a global scale, but i still love to see it.

[@ElChris816]

I enjoy the passion expressed by the makers of this cheese. There is a lot of love and care for the end product that makes me want to try it even more. Great video as usual.

[@ericpmoss]

I LOVE these episodes. I bicycled from Martina Franca to Ceglie Messapica last year, but only in search of gelato. :) Next time, I'll bring an insulated bag for cheese!

[@Xaxon]

A cheese that you can further age at home is very interesting. It was nice to see at least a little bit how much the cheese had changed after two more months of aging.

[@will5150]

the craftsmanship is insane and it shows in the cheese. nothing else like it.

[@jschlow8870]

My daughter and I on a whim decided to watch a how cheese is made video and came across your videos. We have watched them all because you are our favorite cheese connoisseur. Can’t wait to show her this one.

another amazing video! i especially appreciate the way in which you ask questions, it’s very natural and very productive in allowing for extra information to be provided. your knowledge and passion shine through not only in the quality of your footage and editing, but also in how you interact with the artisans you interview & how you treat their creations. thank you so much for your hard work!!

I'd not heard of caciocavallo cheese before your video Claudia. Unfortunately here in Australia we miss out on a lot of exotic cheeses & other foods because of our import laws. There are so many french & italian cheeses I would love to try. Fascinating video. I will subscribe to your channel now as I just noticed another of your posts about pecorino cheese. Thanks Claudia.

[@ottopartz1]

Thank you for sharing this very unique cheese making process. The whey starter method was discussed when I took a university short course on cheese making, however it was presented as a big no-no for commercial cheese making and something you didn't want to attempt for personal production due to the risk of failure or contamination and wasn't elaborated on. However seeing how they have a very specific way to gather the whey, and that rennet is still used in their production has really got my mind spinning on how to try this approach, and what style to do it. I might try this approach to make a Colby horn soon and give it a good aging.

[@adsal100]

Once again Claudia you bring us a little gem. Viva l’italia e I’ll formaggio artigianle!

[@hannahrobertson4769]

This is the most fascinating cheesemaking video I've seen in some time. I wonder what the thought process was for the first person who did it. You did a huge amount of work translating this video, and it was all so interesting! Thank you!

[@kinetor59]

Very nice! Vado in Puglia a Dicembre e credo proprio che me l'caccattero'. Grazie per il video ottimo come al solito!

[@meredithheath5272]

These series are fabulous! Thank you!! I DO wonder - if there are only 200 cheeses/ year, they must be pretty expensive, esp. with the extra work of making a clay "enrobing"! Real, gorgeous, cheese! Not that "stuff" you find in American stores!!

[@MrSunlander]

Waa! Caciocavallo and Claudia's facial clay! molto buono! I did Pietro's 'Poirot' moustache.

[@rosetodaro5081]

[@quentra4304]

Thank you Claudia!

[@Hollandsemum2]

Buona sera Claudia. Come stai? Another great video. I always feel frustrated that I cannot often get these things in the US. It's difficult enough to mail order the Dutch cheeses my family is used to, and finding Sap Sago anywhere is nearly impossible. But some cheeses are also too fragile to ship long distances. This one looks relatively sturdy, but I cannot imagine a way to get it, especially with the low production numbers.

It is a tragedy that I live in Idaho, USA and will never have a chance to try this amazing cheese. So I’ll have to live vicariously through others who have had the pleasure of eating this delicious cheese. Jealously is my world, haha.

[@Anthony-hu3rj]

Vegetable rennet! Very pleasing to hear it being used in an ancient technique!

[@oelapaloma]

Wow! Having seen and tasted so many cheese variants myself I gotta say this one totally sparked my imagination again! What a great way to age the cheese and to also include the pottery as an artisan of the process! That soft and humid inside of the cheese looks absolutely incredible, I would love to try this one day. And I agree on the rind of aged cheese: totally love the complexity of it as well whether you're supposed to eat it or not hahaha.

[@claudia-romeo]

I was so fascinated by the method too! And the fact that I liked the one I brought home the most… it made me feel like an active part of the making process! So cool

[@NasonMusa]

It's fascinating to see the method that speeds up the aging processes, and how hanging, sitting effects the end results!

[@claudia-romeo]

Welcome 🥳

[@Serenity_Dee]

I had to look up _caciocavallo_ to understand why it's called horse cheese, and it appears to be a calque from Sicilian. There doesn't seem to be any clear attestation for the exact origin of the Sicilian word, probably because Sicilian doesn't exactly have the same literary cache as Florentine and thus isn't nearly as well documented, but it's believed to be because it's hung in pairs like it's astride a horse. Which is delightful, rather than faintly nightmarish like casu martzu, which literally means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian (although it's frequently reanalyzed as "walking cheese", which is in turn assumed to refer to the maggots moving around on it).

[@gils501]

Oh wow, something i knew nothing of. Very knteresting thank you!
