Calabro's basket cheese is an Easter tradition that is still made the old fashioned way, by hand. The whole milk curds are hand scooped and pressed into the basket molds while still warm. This cheese makes a beautiful table-top presentation when unmolded, showing off the “weaves” of the basket. Can be eaten fresh or used in the traditional baked Italian Easter Pie.
