This cheese has an excellent flavour thanks to skilled expertise in the ageing process and usage of old Tuscan traditions. Many try to imitate this product but there is only one “PIPARELLO” and this is it! The secret is in the ageing process, which means taking a cheese from good to excellent by skilfully ageing it in the “right” place. In fact, it is aged in grottoes where temperature and humidity are natural. Production and ageing processes, which give it its particular character, are exclusively traditional. And finally, this cheese is not aged like all the others, lying horizontally, but rather it stands vertically.
