Caciocavallo di Agnone is a large pear-shaped pasta filata cheese from the mountains of the Alto Molise, made from raw cow's milk with a natural whey starter. The curd is partly cooked with 65 °C whey, left to sour under the whey, then stretched by hand in hot water and brined. It ripens hung in pairs for at least two months, often in tuff cellars.
No fixed amounts recordedThe regional sheet gives no fixed amounts. It fixes the steps, the setting and stretching temperatures and the brining time, 24 hours per kilogram of cheese.

Caciocavallo di Agnone is a large pear-shaped pasta filata cheese from the mountains of the Alto Molise, made from raw cow's milk with a natural whey starter. The curd is partly cooked with 65 °C whey, left to sour under the whey, then stretched by hand in hot water and brined. It ripens hung in pairs for at least two months, often in tuff cellars. Made in 7 steps over 2 months – 2 years. The longest step, hang in pairs and ripen, takes 2 months – 2 years (ARSARP (Agenzia Regionale per lo Sviluppo Agr…).
Agnone's caciocavallo is a large pear of up to 3 kg, partly cooked with 65 °C whey before the curd sours. It is stretched by hand and aged in pairs, often in the tuff cellars of the town, for at least two months.

Thin, hard, smooth, hazel; mould-mottled if long aged
Size
1.5–3.0 kg; Ø 16–22 cm, height 18–28 cm

Season
Made all year; spring cheese, from cows on mountain pasture, is prized
Made from raw milk of herds officially free of brucellosis and tuberculosis. The regional sheet relies on the acid curd, the partial cook, stretching in water at about 90 °C, which brings the core to about 64–65 °C, and the long ripening. Ageing alone does not make raw-milk cheese safe. The US FDA says 60 days may not eliminate or adequately reduce E. coli O157:H7 and Salmonella in raw-milk cheese. ANSES advises pregnant women, young children, people over 65 and people with weak immunity not to eat raw-milk cheeses other than hard cooked ones, because of Listeria, Salmonella and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli.
Notarial and sale deeds of the 17th century record a specialised caciocavallo trade in Agnone. The name comes from hanging the cheeses in pairs "a cavallo", astride a pole.
