Produced in the heart of Tuscany's Maremma region, between the salty sea winds and the bitter herbal aromas of the Apennines, this pecorino blossoms under the hands of the local artisan cheese makers. One of the very few cheeses granted the right to carry the Protected Designation of Origin distinction, it is made from milk collected and processed in a strictly delimited geographic area.

Characteristics

	Flavor: robust yet delightful, carries a bouquet of precious aromas.
	Taste: a lovely harmony of sweetness and slightly spicy notes.
	Texture: medium-soft and compact, remains surprisingly fresh for long periods of time thanks to natural effects of aging and the aid of vacuum packaging.

Serving suggestions

Although it provides a genuine culinary experience eaten alone, its refined spicy flavors can be best brought out by sweet condiments such as honey, aromatic jams and gelatins made from Brunello wine.
