– Once cooled, the milk is placed in the boiler, where it is processed for about 1 hour.
– The mature curd is extracted and undergoes the stretching treatment.
– Next, the shaping process takes place: it is during this phase that the smoked cacetti take their typical shape and are tied together with raffia string.
