Semi-seasoned cheese with a heart of butter. Burrino (also called Butirro or Manteca) was created mainly to extend the storage time of butter when the refrigerators were not yet imaginable, by inserting it inside the cheese. The classic example of "making a virtue of necessity". This "tender" tradition has come down to us!

Semi-cured cheese typical of the Vallo di Diano, with a "clandestine" heart inside. Memory of the past, Cacio Emigrante dates back to the times of our great-grandparents, who were forced to go overseas in search of work. Wanting to bring with them the flavors of home and their land, to overcome the strict American customs controls, they decided to "hide" the salami inside the caciocavallo.
