About Cacio

Cacio, often referred to as "formaggio" or cheese in Italian, is a staple of Italian cuisine with a rich history rooted in traditional dairy practices. Typically crafted from cow, sheep, or goat milk, it undergoes various processes, such as aging, to develop its unique textures and flavors, ranging from soft and creamy to firm and tangy. Cacio is a concentrated source of protein and calcium, essential for bone health and muscle maintenance, and also contains essential vitamins like B12. However, its fat and sodium content can be high, depending on the type, making moderation key for a balanced diet. Popular in dishes like Cacio e Pepe, this cheese embodies the essence of simplicity and authenticity in Italian cooking, offering both nutritional benefits and indulgent flavor when enjoyed thoughtfully.
