Caprino di Cavalese cheese

The milk is heated to 31 °C then calf or lamb's rennet is added to begin curd production. The curd is cut into small pieces which are heated to 44 °C. The curd is then placed in a mold and dry-salted. The cheese is aged in an earth or stone-floored cellar. During the aging the cheese is turned once a week and is washed with a brine solution.

The cheese is ivory-white in colour. The rind is thin, reddish-yellow in colour.
