PRODUCTION
The production of Fior di Capra begins with the collection of goat’s milk from the regions of Lombardy, Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta and Liguria.
The ingredients used to make this cheese are goat’s milk, salt, rennet and potassium sorbate, which acts as a preservative to keep the product fresh.
The milk is curdled, the curd is broken and separated from the whey. The curd is then left to rest and processed until a soft, spreadable paste is obtained.
Fior di Capra cheese has no rind, a characteristic that makes it instantly recognisable and appreciated for its simplicity. The paste is soft, smooth and snow-white in colour, with a delicate flavour that makes it suitable for palates of all ages.
