DESCRIPTION:

Both abbucciato, semi-seasoned or even seasoned cheeses can be aged in pomace. The cheeses need to be well structured and not soft. This is the most aggressive of all refinements as the pomace alters the flavor of the cheese. At Casale we use the pomace from our own wine production.

The cheese is first soaked in the organic wine of Casale, and then inside a barrel previously used for the maturation of the wine, it is laid on a bed of pomace and completely covered with it. The consistency of the dough is semi-hard with fruity hints of grape marc.

If tasted with the right wine is a rare taste experience.

We recommend melted on a crostone of bread with a canned green tomatoes. We suggest to accompany it with a glass of red Montepulciano that increases the fragrance of cheese.

To properly store our raw milk cheese, which is very different from pasteurized milk cheese, you need to follow a few very simple but essential rules to preserve its flavor and quality. First of all, cheese needs to breathe, so we recommend vacuum-sealing it only when strictly necessary, although in some cases this is inevitable. If the cheese has released some moisture and you find it slightly damp, you can dry it with a cloth or kitchen paper.

AGED and MATURED CHEESES

  • It needs a place with a constant temperature between 10° and 15°, humidity and ventilation like a cellar. If you do not have a cellar, you can put the cheeses in the coldest part of the fridge (between +4°C/+8°C)
  • Store them in sheets of food paper. The paper being porous protects the cheese from exposure to air but at the same time allows it to breathe. The paper must not be too narrow or too large
  • Mold: rub the crust with a little olive oil and let it dry
