Hay and straw pecorino
Originating in the heart of Tuscany, this semi-aged pecorino is a genuine dairy treasure crafted from high-quality sheep's milk. Its distinctiveness comes from a rind that's been refined with hay and straw, a technique deeply rooted in Tuscany's ancient pastoral heritage. The cheese is aged in the "ziro," a traditional terracotta vessel, where it intimately interacts with these natural, field-scented materials. This results in a cheese with a fresh and intensely vegetal aroma, evoking the vivid image of freshly mown grass and the heady fragrance of summer haymaking, culminating in a delicate and surprisingly harmonious flavor.
Imagine serving it as the star of a rustic Tuscan board during a friendly countryside gathering, perhaps alongside a hearty local red wine and crusty homemade bread. Its authenticity and earthy aromas will create a unique sensory journey, a true homage to the natural goodness of our land.
