Pecorino Degli Sposi

Pecorino Degli Sposi

Description

The “Pecorino degli Sposi” is the first cheese in the sense that with subsequent refinements and ageing it gives rise to other cheeses.

We use whole sheep’s milk pasteurized at 72° C and then cooled until reaching a temperature of about 36 ° C.When the curd is broken it has the size of a corn grain, which is suitable also for cheeses that needs tomature.

The “Pecorino degli Sposi” is a fresh cheese you can enjoy already the day after, having a strong flavour of boiled milk. However, the cheese reaches its features after 10 days of maturation.

This cheese is great as an appetizer paired with vegetables and full-bodied white wines. Also, in its less salted version, it is delicious to fill the Seadas (typical Sardinian dessert), either sweet or savoured. Its creamy texture and its sweet taste but nonetheless intense aromas makes the “Pecorino degliSposi” excellent with oven baked specialties.
