$79.99 | | Make | Pecorino Oro Antico Riserva Whole Wheel | | Model | | | Manufactuer ID | 4 pound | | Each Oro Antico Riserva is handmade by the master cheese-maker at Il Forteto by taking a select young, delicious, authentic Pecorino Toscano, burnishing it with olive oil, and aging it in a stone cellar for six months. During aging, more olive oil is applied to the rind as the cheese gets harder and tangier. Finally, each cheese is given a seal of red wax to indicate its special heritage. Oro Antico Riserva has a grainy texture due to the aging process, whereby most traces of moisture escape from within the cheese. Made from 100% ewes milk, the flavor is delivered to the back of your tongue with delicate force, imparting overtures of wild herbs and lemongrass. Because sheeps milk contains a very high percentage of butterfat, Pecorinos are very flavorful but have a tendency to when they reach room temperature. Made from pasteurized sheeps milk.

$75.99 | | Make | Pecorino Toscano Whole 4 lb Wheel | | Model | | | Manufactuer ID | 4 pound - All | | Unlike our other Pecorinos, this cheese is not aged. Pecorino Toscano is a young 100% sheeps milk cheese, only about 40 days old when it arrives on our shores. Because it is a young cheese, it is somewhat discreet; almost shy. As the cheese first hits your tongue, you detect a hint of Tuscan herbs, grass and wildflowers. The aftertaste it leaves on your palate is a wonderfully complex flavor that is hard to describe, but easy to enjoy. Authentic Pecorino Toscano is name-controlled by the Italian Government, meaning that in order for a cheese to bear the name, it must be made to exact specifications and only in defined locales. This one is truly a special item. Made from pasteurized sheeps milk. Photo depicts whole 4 lb. form of cheese. |
