This is a marbled goat milk cheese great for lovers of marbled cheese and, thanks to a well-defined flavour, to many others as well. Pino is the husband while Pinetta is his wife, the gentle and more delicate of the two. Mr. Pino is in fact strong, rough and rustic. This wonderful cheese should be fully enjoyed with meals and also as a meditation cheese! Wonderful for starter and can also be used in the kitchen for cooking. Our Pino is perfect anywhere!
Its maturation varies from 3 to 5 months, and consequently so does its intensity.
In 2014 it obtained the QUALITY AWARD, while in 2015 was awarded the prize of EXCELLENCE in the national dairy contest INFINITI BLU, dedicated to blue cheese that is held every year in Gorgonzola.
At the Italian National Cheese Competition “All’Ombra della Madonnina” in 2018 and 2024 it was awarded the Superior Quality Award.

SHAPE: cylindrical with flat surfaces, straight sides and slightly rounded edges.
EXTERNAL FEATURES: the rind is slightly wrinkled, of medium consistency, generally covered with a layer of mould and is a natural light grey colour with some darker spots; the holes in the two sides made to allow the entry of oxygen during ageing are visible.
INTERNAL FEATURES: the paste is compact and smooth with regular green/blue veins, and an even distribution of mould, while the centre of the cheese is ivory white, changing to intense straw-yellow near the rind, showing a thin undercrust.
AROMA: it releases the typical sheep, goat and barn scents combined with a smell of dried porcini mushrooms, woodland undergrowth and butter.
TASTE: salty, medium pungency and spiciness which tends to dissolve becoming sweeter and a bit acidic.
- Food pairings:
A meditation cheese, suitable for starter, main courses, side dishes, or as a dessert cheese paired with sweet wine.
- Wine pairings:
Best paired with sweet Tuscan Vin Santo, Malvasia, late harvest wine, Aleatico from Elba Island, or Passito from Pantelleria.
