Description

Extremely pure and very sweet, the Pecorino Aged under Walnut Leaves is obtained exclusively from sheep's milk, produced until June. It is aged in terracotta jars greased with olive oil and separating the shapes with walnut leaves. In these characteristic containers the cheese sleeps and works inside. Every 3 weeks it is turned over and covered with new foliage that continues to aromatize and enrich it with aromas.

With this system it is possible to obtain a long-aged and particularly tasty cheese. When tasted, it has a compact texture, with an intense flavor and a prevalent scent of walnut, but also with aromas of undergrowth.

Pairings

The pecorino aged under walnut leaves is excellent consumed in purity to taste its aroma and fullness. Particularly suitable for cutting, it should be accompanied with red wines, and savored with toasted polenta and grilled bread.

Preservation

Store the cheese in a cool, dry place, or halfway in the refrigerator wrapped in vegetable paper or a cotton napkin. If the refrigerator is excessively humid, put next to the cheese a small cup with salt, so that excess moisture is absorbed by the latter.

Ingredients

Pasteurized sheep's milk, salt, rennet and selected lactic ferments, walnut leaves on the rind.

Ours is a story, made of gestures,
tradition, people, and dialogue

Forme d'Arte has selected a series of small producers of Tuscan cheeses both because by deepening a limited area we can better understand a product, and because Tuscany is our land, with its scents, colors, and landscapes that change from one area to another and depending on the season.
