Caciotta cheese

[kah-CHOH-tah]

Caciotta is a specialty cheese made by the Mozzarella Company in Texas. Similar to a Monterey Jack, the cheese is flavored with either ancho (mild) or hot chiles.  Traditional caciotta is from central Italy and is made from cow's milk.  When this cheese is made from goat's milk it is called pecorino.

 

You can substitute Monterey Jack for Caciotta but it will be more mild:
OR> Jalapeno Jack or Pepper Jack as a good substitute.
