Caciocavallo Silano

Caciocavallo Silano is one of Southern Italy’s most celebrated cheeses, a traditional pasta filata cheese made from cow’s milk and aged to develop a rich, complex flavor. Produced in the distinctive pear-shaped form that has become its hallmark, this D.O.P.-protected cheese offers a firm yet supple texture and a flavor that evolves from mild and buttery when young to more robust, savory, and slightly spicy with age.

Exceptionally versatile, Caciocavallo Silano can be enjoyed on its own, sliced for antipasti, or paired with cured meats, olives, and rustic breads. It also melts beautifully, making it an excellent choice for baked dishes, grilled cheese sandwiches, pasta preparations, and traditional Southern Italian recipes. As it ages, its deeper flavor pairs especially well with full-bodied red wines, honey, and fruit preserves.

Named for the mountainous region of Silano in Southern Italy, Caciocavallo Silano has been produced for centuries using traditional cheesemaking techniques passed down through generations. Its protected designation of origin ensures that every wheel reflects the authentic craftsmanship and regional heritage that have made this cheese a cornerstone of Italian gastronomy.
