Description
The caciotta pecorina Rugiada di Collina from Caseificio Murtas is a soft cheese made from sheep's milk. The caciotta pecorina Rugiada di Collina has the classic cylindrical shape. The rind of this cheese, thin and white, can be smooth or ridged. Inside, the product has a white, compact, and sweet paste. A very sweet and slightly tangy cheese with a maturation of just 15 days, it excels in risottos or stuffed vegetables, becoming stringy and making every dish exquisite. Pairings: Excellent for tasting with a pear compote and acacia honey. It pairs magnificently with unstructured wines with a fruity bouquet like Gavi and Gewurztraminer. Storage: In the refrigerator or in a cellar at controlled temperature. Processing: The raw or thermized milk is brought to a temperature of 34-35°C. The milk is inoculated with a starter culture and added with rennet. The curd is cut into cubes of 5-10 cm and a second cut is made until reaching the size of a hazelnut. The paste is extracted and placed in special molds. The aging takes place in the typical Biella cellars located underground. During aging, the rind is washed with water and salt. Aging: 24
