Penelope Fresh Goat Caciotta with Mint

Italian goat's milk and mint: aromatic freshness in a signature cheese

The balsamic breath of mint on the clean sweetness of goat's milk: a bite of spring

Penelope Caciotta with Mint from Tinte Rosse

Penelope Fresh Goat's Caciotta with Mint is a cheese that wins you over at first bite: a very white, soft, and slightly springy texture, with the delicate, clean flavor typical of good goat's milk, tinged with the fresh, balsamic note of mint. Not an added flavoring, but real mint that punctuates the texture and reveals itself in the mouth with a hint of herbaceousness, lightening the creaminess and leaving a surprisingly refreshing finish. Made with 100% Italian goat's milk, it's the perfect caciotta for those seeking a fresh, digestible cheese with a character all its own.
 
 
 

The roots of this cheese lie in the goat, man's first nourisher.

The goat was the first dairy animal domesticated by humans, over ten thousand years ago in the Near East: agile, frugal, and able to survive where no other herd would survive, it accompanied shepherds and civilizations throughout the Mediterranean. It's no coincidence that Greek mythology entrusted a goat, Amalthea, with the task of suckling the infant Zeus, and from her horn was born the cornucopia, an eternal symbol of abundance. As for mint, its association with dairy products is ancient: in Mediterranean cuisine—from Sicily to Greece, from the Levant to North Africa—the combination of fresh cheese and mint is a classic that has endured through the centuries, as the balsamic note naturally balances the fattiness of the milk.
 
 
 

Choosing Caciotta di Capra with Mint means taking care of yourself.

Goat's milk is known for its digestibility: the fat globules are smaller than those of cow's milk and the casein structure is different, characteristics that often make it more tolerated by those who struggle with traditional cheeses. This caciotta is also a notable source of calcium—a whopping 720 mg per 100 g—and high-biological-value protein, with 22,3 g per 100 g, essential for muscles and bones. Mint, for its part, is more than just flavor: it has long been recognized for its digestive and carminative properties, an added boost after a meal.

• IN THE SPRING BOARD: serve it at room temperature with Fresh Organic Broad Beans e Fresh Peas raw, a thread of Organic Acacia Honey and a glass of Verdiso Organic Sparkling White Wine: the pairing that celebrates the season.
• DICED IN SALADS AND SUMMER BOWLS: its balsamic note brilliantly replaces feta — try it with Organic Cucumbers, mixed heirloom cherry tomatoes and olives, or in a cereal bowl with Organic Black Eggplants grills and a round of New stone-ground extra virgin olive oil.
• IN FILLINGS AND BAKED VEGETABLES: soften it for stuffing Organic Green Courgette and courgette flowers, or melt it on a tray of seasonal vegetables together with the Organic Eggplant Babaganoush spread on croutons: the mint makes it irresistible even when hot.
