M�rke: Pecorino Toscano

: Pecorino Toscano D.O.P.

The cheese is prepared with full cream, pasteurized ewe's milk, often by farm-based cheese producers.
Together with the sesaoned kind, it's surely the best known cheese in the whole Toscana region, where there is a special land, from sea to mountains, named ?Maremma?, where is located our producer. It's a cheese produced with sheep?s milk and it shows a white and soft pasta, also having a few small holes.It has a mild and delicate taste, but it reminds precisely and firmly sheep's milk. The seasoning lasts about 30/40 days, while the working is mostly by hand.
There is a wide range of uses for the cheese, which varies according to local traditions and the season. The delicate flavour of a young pecorino Toscano can provide an excellent complement to salad-based starters. As the cheese matures and the flavour strengthens, it can be eaten with honey or jam, as well as with fresh vegetables or fruits (especially pears and figs). Well matured pecorino Toscano is widely used across Italy as an alternative to parmesan for grating over a wide range of dishes, especially pastas or soups.
