Description
Canestrato Fantasia Capriccioso is an Italian semi-hard sheep’s milk cheese with added pieces of olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and chili pepper.
The cheese is shaped in special baskets (canestro), which leaves a characteristic pattern on its surface. The cheese itself has a rich and vibrant taste: the softness of the sheep’s milk blends with the salty notes of the olives, the sweetness of the tomatoes, and a light spiciness from the chili.
This cheese is perfect for snacks and makes an interesting addition to a cheese board. It pairs well with dry rosé wines, light red wines such as Bardolino or Valpolicella, and dry white wines like Vermentino or Grillo
