Caciocavallo palermitano is a large, brick-shaped pasta filata cheese of 8–12 kg made from raw milk of Cinisara cows. No starter is added; lactic bacteria come from the biofilm of the wooden vat (tina) and the other wooden tools. The curd cooks under hot scotta for about four hours, is pressed and hung overnight, then stretched, pressed into a rectangular wooden form and brined for up to 12 days.

Caciocavallo palermitano is a large, brick-shaped pasta filata cheese of 8–12 kg made from raw milk of Cinisara cows. No starter is added; lactic bacteria come from the biofilm of the wooden vat (tina) and the other wooden tools. The curd cooks under hot scotta for about four hours, is pressed and hung overnight, then stretched, pressed into a rectangular wooden form and brined for up to 12 days. Made in 8 steps over 43 days. The longest step, ripen, takes at least 30 days (Regione Siciliana 2018). Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Pediococcus acidilactici and Lacticaseibacillus casei do most of the fermenting.
It is shaped as a long block, not an oval with a head, and made in a wooden vat with wooden tools, whose biofilm is the starter. The curd is cooked under scotta, pressed on a cane rack and hung overnight before it is stretched.
Rind
Clean, smooth, sharp edges; straw to amber or brown, up to about 3 mm
Size
8–12 kg; square-section block, sides 12–18 cm, length 30–60 cm
Semistagionato1–4 months; paste still elastic, eaten as a table cheese.
StagionatoOver 4 months; hard, tough and piquant, grated.
Safety
Made from raw milk with no added starter; the wooden vat's lactic bacteria do the acidifying. The cheese is brined in saturated brine and ripened at least one month.
The PAT sheet cites Carmelo Trasselli for a Palermo price list (calmiere) of March 1412 that already names this cheese separately from cow and sheep cacio. It was served at the tables of nuns and nobles and used as payment in leases.
