Description: Caciotta describes a wide range of simple, rural cheeses from Tuscan Cacciola, Italy, that can be made from the milk of sheep, cows, goats, or water buffalo. The cylindrical shape cheese is aged for a brief period. Beneath the soft, yellow rind is a white or yellowish body with a soft texture and mild flavor. Both artisanal and industrial production of Caciotta is available.
