The roots
Origin and history
In Mugello, cattle farming has been documented for centuries as part of mixed agriculture. Cows were working animals as well as sources of milk.
Cow’s milk cheese developed as a direct transformation of the milk produced on the farm, for family consumption or local sale. It was not a specialty. It was the norm.
Caciotte, in particular, were quick cheeses, easy to produce and suited to everyday consumption. They did not require long aging. They did not take up space.
Over time, some farms have continued this production, maintaining simple methods and a short supply chain.
There is no rupture. There is continuity.
