Have you ever heard of Callu de Cabreddu?

Well, I didn't until very recently and it's one of the most... unsettling things I have read about a while.

So, Callu de Cabreddu is a really old type of cheese originating from Sardinia, Italy. But what really makes it stand out is the method it is produced.

Tldr, it's made by slaughtering a young goat while its belly is still full of mother milk. Then the stomach is removed, tied and let to hang dry and age. And boom. Callu de Cabreddu is ready to be served 😳

Depending on preference it can be aged for a short time for a creamy texture, or for a longer period for a firmer, crumblier cheese.

As for taste:

All varieties have a distinctly gamey flavor from the goat rennet but also tend to retain a lot of the characteristics of the original milk. Since they are most often made in the spring, this means lots of green grasses and wild flowers and herbs. The older varieties also have a spicy tang similar to Spanish Valdeón. source

Supposedly, these days the production of this cheese is illegal so I can't find a price quote. Although illegal, some still make it and according to some peeps on reddit...it's nothing special when it comes to taste.

Anyways, if you think this is creepy, allow me to introduce you to the world's... moldiest cheese:

Disgusting. At least it comes with a healthy dose of penicillin so I guess that's a plus. 😂😂😂

Ok, I think that's enough useless information for today. Stay tuned for more, lol.

Wow man that's quite an unusual cheese-making process. I can't imagine trying it, but it's interesting to learn about.

Well, I can see why it would be illegal these days, especially if raw milk is illegal, lol. But yeah, disgusting, at least in the way it's made. There is all kind of weird shit they used to do back in the old days, and like you said, some still make this, but not something I would go for. I couldn't do that to a baby goat just for some stinky cheese...

Ugh that sounds like a gruesome way to use a young goat. I guess that is why I tend to stick to the more common cheeses and it's safer that way

Cheese is a complex, philosophical substance lol, it can be something that I tried and was delighted with, and something that was disgusting to me, something that I understand and something that I will never understand. I have tried many types of different cheeses from fresh sheep and goat to aged cheeses, and with age, with my age, preferences changed and that sheep's cheese with a specific smell and taste, which seemed disgusting to me as a child, now I find magnificent. But one day, there was a delivery of blue mold cheese to the store and looking at the price, I decided to pamper my family and bought a whole head of cheese. The fatal mistake was to make sandwiches with this cheese and heat them up in the microwave. At one point, my apartment turned into a cattle burial ground, the smell was so terrible that I could not rid the apartment for three days. As you can imagine, I threw out all the cheese so that it wouldn't remind me of that incident. And as for what I don't understand about cheeses, there will always be soy cheese and other versions of it that don't involve milk in the cheese-making process. I haven't tried the cheese I see in the photo, but something tells me I wouldn't eat it, it's better to buy young or aged sheep's cheese. :) !VSC

I'm generally a 'try it once' type of person, but this goes in the 'nah, I'm fine thanks' column with that other strange Sardinian cheese Casu Martzu.

What is it with that island and gross cheeses?

People try to sell things as special when they are not special and they succeed because of some idiots. There is not much difference in flavor from ordinary cheese, but I'm sure there is in price XD
