Our farmlands produce numerous varieties of cheeses from milk generated by cows which graze on open lands rich with wild greens. Caciocavallo, a rich, aromatic cheese, reveals the fragrances of the grazing lands where our cows roam. In the springtime this cheese reveals a rose colour due to the strawberries which the cows eat in the wildwoods.
