Pecorino stagionato sotto foglie di Castagno

The pecorino aged under chestnut leaves in barrique comes from the widespread research that was carried out among the old shepherds of the Valdichiana, masters in preserving cheese with poor materials, giving the cheese a unique flavor and aroma.

• Procedure: The wheels are placed in oak barrels and kept at room temperature. They are laid in layers together with the material in which the small fissures between the axes of the barrels are to mature, allowing the air to delicately penetrate inside and create a perfect microclimate for the maturation of the cheese. When the wheels reach perfect maturation, they are placed in crates, presenting an irregular shape but the aroma and intensity of the taste make each cheese unique in its kind.
• Pairings: Ideal with Structured red wines, dark beers, cured meats with an intense and decisive flavour, perfect with artisan compotes or honeys of all kinds.
