Canestrato is considered one of the best cheeses in Sicily. The Sicilian tradition boasts ancient and traditional recipes that are handed down, even today, from one generation to another.
To make the Canestrato heats the milk to 37 degrees. It is placed in a wooden tin, where it is added rennet in lamb or kid paste. This product is then extracted and placed in special bands that give it a particular shape. Then we proceed to the scalding at 80 degrees of the curd, which will dry on wooden tables. The next day the cheese is salted dry with sea salt, until the cheese no longer absorbs it and a layer of salt is created on the form.
These cheeses are aged in cool and ventilated environments, such as cellars or natural caves.
