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.
