Caciocavallo cheese is one of the most popular cheeses in Italy and is famous for its signature elongated shape. In the caciocavallo family, there is one kind that is so rare that at times it can be even more expensive than the finest of Parmesans: caciocavallo Podolico. This special type of caciocavallo is made with the raw milk of Podolica cattle, a rare breed of cattle confined to a few areas where water is scarce and survival is difficult. One of these is the Gargano, a peninsula whose close proximity to the sea gives Podolica cows’ milk a rich, earthy flavor. This milk,in combination with how the cheese is aged, lends a salty, sharp, almost spicy flavor to the finished product. Virginio Frumenzio, a full-time livestock breeder and part-time cheesemaker, shares the story of this incredible cheese with us.

Damn! I wish I had a pair of <cough> "cheeses" of those dimensions!😆
I love this woman and her channel.
@ Food Insider, Hi. This Gentleman needs to SHAVE THOSE FOREARMS… I wouldn't care if it was the most coveted cheese in the world [ you can keep it ] some of his forearm hairs are in that cheese and that's a fact. Hmmm. 🐶 PEACE! 🚭
What a view! So pretty!
The real question. Pinot Grigio or Orvieto? Which one to pair this cheese with? 🤔
Someone: "do you like cheese?"
She:🌚

Harshest conditions in southern italy? Laughable unless your above 1500meters which is not where this video is shot
stupid mask
I found the place to be unhygienic. Nobody wears gloves, hair cap… Typical Italian hygiene!
Hi can u show us how to make Kashakval cheese grazie mille
Reminds me of the cheese on my balls
finally i can say cheese grows in trees
I can only dream of eating most of these cheeses, not just because of the price. I'm lactose intolerant, but not in the standard way. I have chronic irritable bowel syndrome, where certain food attributes like gluten and lactose causes my intestines to flip out. It's a swinging pendulum between constipation and diarrhea. I'm at least glad that my body can handle hard cheeses, where there's less whey and lactose. I've developed an adoration of cheddar. And I'm not far from top-quality Vermont cheddar, though it has been a while since I've had Cabot, etc.
Not true
TRUE EXPENSIVE CHEESE IS FROM DONKEY FROM SERBIA and just 2 persona know recipie
Too bad shes putting her own Video down, it's too salty. To start. He said, "it's the earth and the region". So in essence F++x you don't like it, you don't come back to get great cheese! I'm sure it is in region of great cheese!!! Keep up the good work you cows! And pastors!
Comments are you don't like it, you don't go back to it. And Foody you're better than to say it's too salty
If the cows could survive the harshest conditions shouldn't there be more of them making their milk very accessible and therefore reducing the cost of this cheese.
This is not cheese, it's art.
Nothing beats Mexican cheese, it's the best hands down
Anyone else want a cheese tree?
don't mind the noises coming out of their mouths the real way to speak italian is by moving your hands in a certain way
I was into goda cheese then i saw cheese hanging on the tree
Wears a mask because of scaremongering.
Doesn't wear a hairnet for basic food hygeine.
I'd love to feed this woman grapes while she lounges around on a fainting couch. Maybe she'd let me touch her feet…😶
Hey they growing cheese in trees or somefin.
🧀 🤔
