Wine Pairing
To complete your culinary journey with Ham and Caciocavallo Cheese Rolls, we recommend pairing them with a glass of Contea di Sclafani Grillo.
This sparkling wine is a surprising but perfect choice to enhance the flavors of this recipe.
Contea di Sclafani Grillo presents itself with a bright yellow color, which already anticipates a unique sensory experience.
Its elegant and fine aroma is like an invitation to explore the palette of flavors in this dish.
The structured and dry taste of the wine harmoniously complements the ham, offering a refreshing and cleansing sensation to the palate.
To fully enjoy this combination, make sure to serve Contea di Sclafani Grillo at a temperature generally between 6°C and 8°C (45°F).
This will allow the wine to express its aromatic characteristics to the fullest and refresh your palate between bites.
How to Store Ham and Caciocavallo Cheese Rolls
- Storage in the refrigerator: You can store the rolls in the refrigerator for a maximum of 2-3 days. To keep them fresh, place them in an airtight container or cover them with plastic wrap. Make sure they are well sealed to avoid absorbing unwanted odors.
- Freezing: If you want to preserve them for a longer period, you can freeze the rolls before cooking. Before doing so, separate the rolls with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking during the freezing process. You can store them in the freezer for about 1-2 months. To thaw them, place them in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: To reheat Ham and Caciocavallo Cheese Rolls, we recommend doing so in a preheated oven at 180°C (355°F) for approximately 10-15 minutes, until they are well heated and the baked ham has regained its crispiness. You can also reheat them in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat for an equally delicious result.
