Caciotta Rocket / Chili - Semi Hard

The combination of garden fresh rocket, the spicy mild bite of chili along with the fresh, simple, semi-soft and milky mild cheese, make this a true connoisseurs cheese. The divine gourmet taste that is Paesanella Caciotta (Rocket and Chili).

Made using 100% cow's milk and natural garden fresh ingredients then blended in the traditional rural Neapolitan way, Paesanella Caciotta is a definite alternative to the usual table cheese.

Paesanella Caciotta cheese impressively complements any anti-pasta dish and cheese platters or simply can be enjoyed on its own as a gourmet snack.
