Caciocavallo Stagionato Iacocca – The Golden Heritage of Campania

Selected by Kelvini Italian Artisan Some flavours cannot be created. They arise naturally, when time, nature and craftsmanship come together. In the green hills of the Fortore region, where cows graze amongst wild herbs and ancient pastures, the Iacocca family has been making a cheese that is the pride of Southern Italy for generations: Caciocavallo Stagionato.

This traditional cheese embodies the story of Campania. No industrial production, no rush, no compromises. Just fresh milk, centuries-old expertise and the time needed to allow a large cheese to mature into something truly special. When a Caciocavallo is left to mature for months, hanging from wooden beams, something magical happens. The mild milk slowly transforms into a cheese with character, rich aromas and a flavour that grows ever richer. This is not just any piece of cheese. This is a slice of southern Italy. A centuries-old tradition that lives on today. The name Caciocavallo is one of Italy’s oldest cheese traditions.

For centuries, the cheeses have been hung in pairs from wooden rods to mature. This distinctive maturing method gave the cheese its name: cacio a cavallo, literally ‘cheese on horseback’. Whilst many traditional products have disappeared in the world of mass production, the Iacocca family remains faithful to the artisanal methods passed down from generation to generation. The result is a cheese that tastes not only of milk and maturation, but also of history.

The taste of patience Good cheese cannot be rushed. This Caciocavallo develops its distinctive character during the maturing process. The texture becomes firmer, the aromas deeper and the flavour richer. You’ll detect notes of fresh butter, toasted nuts, dried hay and a subtle spiciness typical of the mountain pastures of Campania. The finish is long, warm and elegant. A cheese that makes just as much of an impression on a simple platter with bread as it does on a festive table laden with Italian specialities.

The story of the Iacocca family

In San Marco dei Cavoti, a small village in the province of Benevento, life still follows the rhythm of the seasons. Here, the milk is processed daily, close to the source and with respect for tradition. The Iacocca family manages the entire process: from caring for the animals to producing the cheese. You can taste the difference. Because true quality doesn’t come from economies of scale, but from attention to detail.
