Aged Rustic Pecorino Cheese 900g approx. SV

A pecorino with an authentic and bold character, crafted according to tradition and recognizable by its distinctive ridged rind obtained from the rush basket mold. Rustico stagionato is a semi-cooked paste cheese, made with whole milk from sheep raised in the pristine pastures of Sardinia. The milk is coagulated with lamb paste rennet, following a process that enhances the quality of the sheep’s milk and the characteristics of Sardinian cheese-making tradition. The wheel features a distinctive ridged rind, obtained through processing inside a rush basket mold, an element that gives the cheese a rustic, authentic, and immediately recognizable appearance. The rind is dark yellow in color. Ideal maturation takes place in approximately 110–150 days. At the end of aging, the paste is white, with small eyes and a pleasant consistency.
