Description
“Pecora Nera” is an aged pecorino cheese processed with cold dough. A very tasty cheese which evolves out of our“Velathri” pecorino, which, after 8 months aging, it becomes “La PecoraNera”.
During its preparation and aging, it is constantly washed and spun by hand to check its quality. It passes its last months drying on boards of fir wood.
It has an intense aroma, hints of underbrush and mushrooms. The taste is savoury, slightly spicy with increasing spiciness along with the ageing. Very long persistence, with a complex aftertaste of humus and chestnut.
It is definitively a cheese of great impact, for the revival of the great traditional Tuscan dishes, like “Pici with mullet fish sauce alla Livornese” with the addition of “La pecora nera” flakes.
It is also very good when served“au naturel” with homemade bread and a glass of a good red wine.
