Caciocavallo Impiccato Cheese for Grilling

The Star of Traditional Lucanian Barbecues

Caciocavallo Impiccato is one of the most iconic specialities of Basilicata and Southern Italy. Made from selected cow's milk and produced according to Lucanian cheesemaking traditions, it is the undisputed star of barbecues, village festivals and gatherings thanks to its irresistibly stretchy, melted texture.

Aged for Flavour and Perfect Melting

Caciocavallo Impiccato is produced in Potenza with high-quality cow's milk and aged for at least two months. This maturation period gives it the ideal structure for slowly melting over glowing embers. Its flavour is rich and enveloping, with pleasant rustic notes reflecting the authenticity of artisan production and Lucanian food traditions.

Perfect for Melting over an Open Fire

Caciocavallo Impiccato is traditionally hung from a special metal frame and allowed to melt slowly in front of a fire. The hot, melted cheese is then scraped directly onto rustic bread, bruschetta or thick toast, creating a simple yet delicious dish. Perfect for sharing at barbecues and aperitifs, it offers an authentic experience celebrating one of Southern Italy's most beloved culinary traditions.
