      Plenty of cows, cheese and clay in my country. We put herbs in our cheeses as well: cloves, cumin, nettle. We even smoke them. But amount, efficiency and price... well, it may be a work of art... we don't do things this way. Something for a museum? 😊

    Thank you for sharing this very unique cheese making process. The whey starter method was discussed when I took a university short course on cheese making, however it was presented as a big no-no for commercial cheese making and something you didn't want to attempt for personal production due to the risk of failure or contamination and wasn't elaborated on. However seeing how they have a very specific way to gather the whey, and that rennet is still used in their production has really got my mind spinning on how to try this approach, and what style to do it. I might try this approach to make a Colby horn soon and give it a good aging.

    Another great video. I always feel frustrated that I cannot often get these things in the US. It's difficult enough to mail order the Dutch cheeses my family is used to, and finding Sap Sago anywhere is nearly impossible. But some cheeses are also too fragile to ship long distances. This one looks relatively sturdy, but I cannot imagine a way to get it, especially with the low production numbers.

    I had to look up _caciocavallo_ to understand why it's called horse cheese, and it appears to be a calque from Sicilian. There doesn't seem to be any clear attestation for the exact origin of the Sicilian word, probably because Sicilian doesn't exactly have the same literary cache as Florentine and thus isn't nearly as well documented, but it's believed to be because it's hung in pairs like it's astride a horse.
    Which is delightful, rather than faintly nightmarish like casu martzu, which literally means "rotten cheese" in Sardinian (although it's frequently reanalyzed as "walking cheese", which is in turn assumed to refer to the maggots moving around on it).

    As a fellow cheese-enthusiast, I'd like to recommend Norwegian Jarlsberg cheese. I think it's kind of a mix between Gouda and Emmentaler cheese. It's filled with holes, a bit sour/nutty taste, and can be used for anything, from a slice of bread with some cheese, to pizza, to lasagna ETC. It's my favorite. I managed to "save the soul" of a friend in Australia, and now I think she mostly just eat Jarlsberg too, despite the price. If I'm not mistaken it's also one of the most popular cheeses in America.

What a great way to age the cheese and to also include the pottery as an artisan of the process! That soft and humid inside of the cheese looks absolutely incredible, I would love to try this one day. And I agree on the rind of aged cheese: totally love the complexity of it as well whether you're supposed to eat it or not hahaha.

    What exactly do you mean when you say "spicy" in English? Piquant? Or do you mean that you taste the herbs? Generally we only use the word spicy in English to denote something that is piquant or hot, like like black pepper, chili peppers or something like a strong cinnamon flavor. So when you use it to describe a cheese, I am both confused and fascinated.

    • @claudia-romeo
      @claudia-romeo  Месяц назад +14

      I mean exactly that! In Italian we also distinguish between “speziato” (with spices) and “piccante”. The cheese was piquant, with notes of olive oil!
