Caciotta Toscana cheese

Caciotta Toscana is probably the best known among all similar cheeses made in Italy. It made ​​from a mixture of pasteurised cow's (60-90%) and ewes'(40-10%) milk, and is inoculated with appropriate enzymes.

Coagulation occurs at 38°-40°C in 20 minutes, then calf rennet is added. After the curd is broken to the size of walnuts, they are placed in special moulds and drained from the whey where they are left for about an hour at a temperature of 45°-50°C. The cheeses are then immersed in brine for salting, where they remain for about 6-8 hours. Maturation takes place for a period of 15-40 days.

The cheese has a cylindrical shape: the diameter is 10-20 cm, while the height measures 4-5 cm. The tind is thin and straw-coloured and the interior is uniform and consistent. It has a sweet flavour.
