Production Mode

The milk to make Madonie Smoked Provola , raw and whole, is heated to 37-38°C in the traditional wooden vat, to which sheep rennet paste is added.

Once the desired density has been reached, the curd is broken into grains the size of a hazelnut and left to rest for a variable time, pouring hot water or whey.

The mass is then left to dry on a wooden table and cut into thin slices which are placed in the vat and moistened with water at 85°C.

At this point the dough is stretched, handling it with the hands and with the help of a stick.

When it reaches good elasticity, small pears are formed (the classic provola is rounded, with a very short "neck") which, tied two by two and hung astride a pole, mature for at least 10, 15 days in cool and dry environments. ventilated. The classic smoking process is then implemented.

Pairings:

Madonie Smoked Provola is excellent accompanied with local durum wheat bread made with natural yeast (lu criscenti) and cooked in a wood oven.

When it is fresh, be careful not to cover the fragrant milky hints of the Madonie Smoked Provola : in this case choose very light and dry wines.

Otherwise, you can pair our Madonie Smoked Provola with the classic Nero d'Avola .
