PROCESSING STEPS
Vulcano cheese is made from pasteurised sheep’s and goat’s milk. It is manufactured with olive oil and 1% red chilli powder and placed in special moulding baskets.
This process gives Vulcano cheese its characteristic shape. In fact, this particular cheese makes part of the so-called “Canestrati” (from the Italian “canestro” meaning ” basket”) due to the basket-like moulds in which it is placed. Finally, the product is ripened for 15 days.
The rind of Vulcano cheese is hard and has a deep red colour, while the inside paste is smooth, compact and straw-white coloured. When cut, the streaks given by the pepper will be immediately evident.
HISTORICAL NOTES
Vulcano cheese is a typical product of Southern Italy, and in particular a Sicilian one. It is in this land that the cheese-making tradition has been handed down from generation to generation along with the passion and experience for making typical cheeses such as Vulcano. And thanks to the combination of the Sicilian dairy tradition and today’s technological innovations, make it is possible to taste the unique flavour of the heart of Sicily.
HOW TO TASTE IT BEST
It goes perfectly with honey, jams or delicate jellies that make its unique flavour really stand out. In addition, Vulcano cheese is excellent with fresh vegetables, especially to create light but super delicious summer dishes.
