Semicotto Caprino cheese
Semicotto Caprino - goat raising in Sardinia, which as long ago as the 18th century numbered over 200,000 animals, produces a type of milk which is processed to obtain a ‘half-cooked' cheese, coagulated with liquid calf’s rennet, or sometimes sheep or goat rennet in the form of a paste.
The cheeses, weighing around 2.5-3 kilos, are round with straight or slightly curved sides, with a smooth straw-coloured rind, tending towards brown after maturation. The cheese itself is white or delicately straw-coloured, compact or at times with eyes. The aroma is characteristic and accompanies a sweet, aromatic taste, in the young product, while stronger, sharper notes emerge after maturation, which normally lasts for more than 60 days, but may last for as long as 16-18 months. A suitable cheese both for grating and table use.
