How One of Italy’s Spiciest Cheeses is Made by Aging it in Raw Clay | Claudia Romeo

Blessed are the Cheesemakers.

Well, obviously it’s not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

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

Beautiful? It’s riddled with holes. What a scam.

[@John-r2p9t]

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.

[@henriquenakamura5752]

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

[@anthonycreed1987]

Claudia! Thank you for these insights into Italy. I love the culture, the food, the people...

[@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...!

[@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!

[@chance1986]

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

[@alt5494]

Most impressive part was the Potter. Gentleman was absolute master at his trade.

[@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.

[@will5150]

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

[@mishmishm7847]

Cara Claudia, cari cugini ❤❤❤ 🧀 🧀 🧀 I am a clay potter and I love cheese making . I fell off my feet 😊 to see this beauty. This tradition, this little miracle. Now my ambition is to taste it . Grazie for this charming fascinating video ❤ Peace and friendship to all you, curd nerds 😅 From somewhere in the Mediterranean 🌊🌊 M.m

[@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

[@jahjoeka]

The attention to details is just incredible.

[@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.

[@nickfranklin1867]

What a fascinating video Claudia, I have never heard of cheese being matured inside of clay, loving the video's!

[@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.

[@claudia-romeo]

Thank you both for watching!

[@poetryprose9810]

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!!

A new good information on cheese making added to our knowledge, thank your very much Claudia.

[@butterfliesandtape]

The "home aged" one inside reminds me of my long fermented bread dough. Looks delicious 😋❤

[@brt5273]

Yes I am dying to know the qualities of aroma and taste at that stage.

[@LailandiAdventures]

This is so cool! I need to go on more cheese tours, I'm not even that big a fan of cheese but I love the unique processes, queso cabrales is a cheese I'm sure you'd love made in Asturian caves. Thanks for the great video Claudia.

[@claudia-romeo]

I would love to visit those caves🧡

[@LailandiAdventures]

@@claudia-romeo there are a few places you might want to research Quesería Los Picos de Europa, Quesería Maín, Quesería Vega de Tordín. There are more. You will have to try the cachopo and Tortos when you are here!

[@MrSunlander]

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

[@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.

[@SixOhFive]

You look amazing Claudia!

[@greepanormus887]

Caciocavalli are so cute😍

[@2008-u8b]

[@jaimecknight]

I truly love all of this content. Makes me wish I'd known all of this when my family visited Puglia!

[@elenamilitopingitore5044]

I am very emotional about the pure artisan way this is created! It is a wonder of the world, thank you for this information ❤

[@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.

[@quentra4304]

Thank you Claudia!

[@jtduarte6829]

Really happy you returned to the old formula. I love your cheese videos, amongst other. Those podcasts type ones just didnt work. Keep up the excelent work!

[@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

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.

[@pierdomenicosommati443]

Wow this made me so hungry😋🤣 I wanna try this caciocavallo, absolutely! P. S. Your english is so good! There's just a slight and nice hint of Italian charm into it! We Italians are notoriously not that good at it on the average... even my pretty poor English received compliments from taxi drivers last summer in Malaysia, when I mentioned being Italian 😅

Fantastic video! I loved your interactions with the Cheesemakers. Ever thought about making a video on Sardinian foods?

[@claudia-romeo]

Hopefully one day! Sardinia has some amazing food

[@chrisr251]

What exactly do you mean when you say "spicy" in English? Piquant? Or do you mean that you taste the herbs? Generally we only use the word spicy in English to denote something that is piquant or hot, like like black pepper, chili peppers or something like a strong cinnamon flavor. So when you use it to describe a cheese, I am both confused and fascinated.

[@claudia-romeo]

I mean exactly that! In Italian we also distinguish between “speziato” (with spices) and “piccante”. The cheese was piquant, with notes of olive oil!

[@chrisr251]

@@claudia-romeo Very cool!

[@keithbarry001]

Awesome!

[@ansoncall6497]

I have decided to go there and try it myself. It looks to be worth the Journey from America.

[@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).

[@dryad_92]

So beautiful, lots of artisan labor involved, I wonder how much one caciocavallo costs!
