Relive a

Centenary tradition

The culture and food and wine tradition of Italy are loved and appreciated all over the world … that’s why we offer a food box: an innovative concept that can make it live, buy, discover in a single original experience!

AN ANCIENT HISTORY

The recipe of hanging caciocavallo originates from an ancient tradition of southern Italy. The spinning cheese gives way to the passage of the blade of a knife and then is smeared on a slice of toasted bread. It’s the beginning of a dining experience to share, full of history and flavor.

OUR KIT

Today this ancient tradition, which is quite difficult to reproduce if you do not have a system to support it on coals, is within everyone’s reach, thanks to the Kit designed by our founder, contains everything you need to prepare the Caciocavallo Hanged at home, garden or picnic. Just mount, near a grid, the structure created specifically to hold the Caciocavallo, hang it on the fire and wait for it to begin to melt.

THE STORY OF
SAVERIO MANCINO

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always had a special love for my country’s party.
In Pignola, Basilicata, tradition has it that friends, relatives and villagers flock to the square to live together moments of joy and conviviality.

The master of the party has always been him, the Hanging Caciocavallo!
I remember that we children enjoyed helping the adults set fire until, once lit, the crowd began shouting in chorus: “Hang him, hang him…”At that point the oldest of the group proceeded slowly towards the embers holding a head of Caciocavallo ready for the gallows. Enchanted, I would watch the cheese melt until it succumbed to the elder’s sharp blade, which easily smeared it on a slice of freshly toasted bread. The children, thankfully, were the first to get a slice of it.
That taste is unmatched in my memory. Now I live with my family in the most beautiful city in the world, Rome. I can no longer participate in those moments of conviviality and feel the typical flavors of my land.
I got a little nostalgic.
For this reason, a few years ago, I returned to celebrate this ancient rite on the occasion of dinners and parties with my closest friends.
It was they, jokingly, who proposed to me to bring this tradition all over the world. I took them seriously. I raised my glass of wine in front of the grill and said, “Hang it!”
