Fresh curd cheese crafted exclusively from ewe’s milk, Ravaggiolo (also known as Raviggiolo) is cheese in its freshest form and is particularly rare when made from ewe’s milk. Obtained directly from the curd, it represents the very first stage in the transformation of milk into cheese. It is made only to order, with at least one week’s notice, and must be collected directly from Caseificio dei Barbi, as it cannot be shipped. Milky white, with a delicate, gel-like texture, Ravaggiolo has an exceptionally mild, slightly tangy flavour. It can be enjoyed on its own or simply dressed with extra virgin olive oil and black pepper.
