Pecorino with thyme
Rooted in the best of Tuscan cheese-making tradition, this semi-aged pecorino is a genuine expression of our terroir, crafted from high-quality sheep's milk. Its uniqueness comes from a rind refined with wild thyme, an aromatic herb that flourishes on our hillsides, reflecting the Tuscan cheese-making philosophy that celebrates natural tastes. As it ages in the "ziro," the traditional terracotta jar, the cheese slowly absorbs the natural essences of the thyme, developing a fresh and intensely wild aroma, evocative of the fragrant wild herbs of the Mediterranean maquis. This pecorino is perfect for those who appreciate an aromatic yet delicate cheese that offers a surprising and unique flavor profile.
Imagine serving it as a centerpiece of a rustic antipasto during an open-air lunch on a warm Tuscan summer's day, perhaps paired with local olives, sulla honey, and a chilled glass of Vermentino wine. Its captivating aroma and its flavor reminiscent of untouched nature will make the gathering even more special and authentic.
