Capriolina
- Washed Rind Cheese
- Goat's Milk Pasteurized
- Arnoldi Valtaleggio Lombardi, Italy
A small format washed rind goat’s milk cheese from the master affineurs at Arnoldi in the mountains of Val Taleggio. Aromatic and buttery, it has the typical acidity of goat’s milk cheese and a good dose of funk. Because of its small size and unique way of washing (a closely guarded secret of the Arnoldi family), Capriolina has a more pronounced flavor than larger washed rind cheeses like Stracapra.
Arnoldi is an Italian cheesemaker in the Lombardy region, known for producing traditional cheeses like Taleggio. Formed in 2007, Casearia Arnoldi Valtaleggio S.r.l. combines several family businesses that were previously involved in making and aging cheeses for generations. The company specializes in Taleggio but also produces other cheeses, including washed-rind and goat's milk varieties, and matures them in mountain caves.
