Raw milk from grazing Podolica cows is set with calf or kid paste rennet in a wooden vat. The curd sours for 4–5 hours under hot whey and the previous day's whey starter, then is stretched in boiling water and shaped by hand into a pear-shaped cheese. After brining it ripens for months, or for years in the largest forms, in cellars or caves. Made in 10 steps over 6.1 months – 5 years. The longest step, ripen in a cellar or cave, takes 6 months – 5 years (Di Trana A. et al. 2023). Lactobacilli, which make up 94.19–100 % of the bacteria in the ripened cheese and Streptococci and lactobacilli of the wooden-vat biofilm (94.74–99.70 % of its bacteria), which seed the milk do most of the fermenting.
No fixed amounts recordedThe ALSIA sheet gives temperatures and times but no batch size. A finished cheese weighs 2–3 kg; large forms of 4–8 kg are kept for the longest ripening.

What makes this one different
Made only from the raw milk of the grazing Podolica breed, in wooden vats whose biofilm seeds the milk. It ripens far longer than most caciocavallo, up to 4–5 years for large forms.
Milk
Raw milk of Podolica cows or their crosses, or of other cows at pasture
Ripening
6 and 12 months in one study; large forms up to 4–5 years
Season
The grazing season (ALSIA); all year with a peak from March to May (Slow Food)
Composition
At 6 and 12 months, fat 30–32 and protein 31–32 g/100 g; naturally lactose-free
Size
2–3 kg, pear-shaped; widest 20–22 cm, 25–30 cm high with the head
The ALSIA sheet cites the 1811 statistical survey of the Kingdom of Naples among its historical records. The Podolica, once the main cattle breed of southern Italy, is down to about 25,000 animals. The Slow Food Presidium was set up with ANFOSC, the association of pasture cheesemakers.
