Organic Canestrello Cheese

Traditional sheep cheese

The canestrello from the name of an ancient milk processing that was carried out in the Tuscia of Viterbo

The Cattani Organic Farm

it covers an area of ​​about 250 hectares of property, on which sheep, goats, pigs, cattle and horses are raised.

In addition to forage and pastures, organic wheat and seeds of various kinds are produced and cultivated, which have the primary purpose of balancing the diet of the farmed species.

The technological methods, the various machinery used for planting and harvesting, and the compliant biological method, make each product optimal. The seeds are also sold outside to consortia and private individuals.

Several plots and territories are rented, given the great need for livestock, and are located in various areas. In spring, part of the cattle are transferred to the pastures of the Reatine mountains, at an altitude of 2000 meters, respecting the traditional transhumance which is the symbol of an optimal flock.

Breeding

The breeding is carried out in the semi-wild state with own organic feed.

The processing takes place in an artisanal way.

The milk is filtered to clean it of impurities. The filtered milk is coagulated in large basins.

Coagulation is the phase in which the milk, following some chemical-physical modifications, loses its liquid consistency. The caseins, milk proteins, precipitate to the bottom and, dividing from the liquid substances, create a pasty and spongy mass: the curd.

Coagulation takes place naturally by adding a whey-graft (whey from previous processes) and rennet to the milk. The milk is left to rest until it coagulates. The curd thus obtained is broken into lumps of a few centimeters.

Generally there are two phases of rupture intertwined by a pause. The curd is then divided into large slices and left to drain on a steel table. Then hot whey is added to the curd and left to acidify for a few hours. When the curd is ripe, it is poured into blanks and left to dry. Seasoning 1-2 months.
