Academia Barilla Pecorino Toscano D.O.P., 6 lbs
Academia Barilla’s Pecorino Toscano D.O.P. is handcrafted by local artisans in the heart of Tuscany’s coastal Maremma region. It’s one of the very few cheeses granted the right to carry the Protected Designation of Origin distinction, guaranteeing the finest milk is collected and processed only within the designated area. Made from flavorful, aromatic sheep’s milk from the pristine Grosseto area and aged four months; wheels average six lbs.
- Aroma: bouquet of sweet and slightly spicy notes.
- Taste: robust and spicy, yet won’t overwhelm food.
- Texture: medium-soft and compact; remains surprisingly fresh for long periods of time.
- Aged four months
- Serving suggestions: although Pecorino Toscano is delicious alone, its refined spicy flavors can be best brought out by sweet condiments like honey, aromatic jams and gelatins made from Brunello wine.
- Produced in Italy.
