The word of the week on Gourm.itpedia is:
Massese
/masˈseːze/
Italian sheep breed originating from the province of Massa-Carrara in Tuscany. They are known for their adaptability to mountainous environments and their production of rich milk
Verano Bertagni, shepherd cheesemaker at Caseificio Bertagni, chronicles the post-war introduction of the Pecora Massese to Garfagnana, along with the beloved Garfagnina breed. Both breeds are hardy and well suited to outdoor life in the varied climate of northern Tuscany.
Gourm.itpedia is a project aimed at promoting knowledge of Italian gastronomy, created by gourm.it, a consortium of Italian producers.
