Description of Roman Caciofiore
Caciofiore Romano is a fresh or lightly aged sheep’s milk cheese made with vegetable rennet obtained from the cardoon flower. The paste is soft, sometimes creamy, with an irregular structure and a flavor that ranges from milky sweetness to a slight bitter note typical of vegetable rennet.
Each wheel is different: the result depends on the milk, the season, and the hand of the cheesemaker.
Cultural significance of Roman Caciofiore
Caciofiore represents the oldest cheesemaking tradition of the Roman territory. It is a cheese linked to pastoral life and home consumption rather than large-scale production. It tells the story of an agricultural Rome that predates the very idea of the monumental capital.
