  • About

Caciocavallo, which is imported from Ragusa, and also known as Ragusano, is now easily available in Italian markets. Hard provolone, not the kind sliced for sandwiches, can be substituted.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound caciocavallo cheese
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Method

Cut the cheese in ¼ inch slices. Heat the oil, preferably in a nonstick frying pan. Add the cheese slices in a single layer, and fry until golden before turning to brown the other side. Serve at once.
