Each of our cheeses has its own name, the name is never chosen at random, for this cheese the adjective in which it is best represented was used. It is defined as “RESERVE” because its maturation lasts for at least a year, which for pecorino cheese is a decidedly long period. Although, being a medium-large size shape, it will never be excessively hard.
Furthermore PIZZICHINO, not because it is exaggeratedly salty or spicy, but because of its pungent character which is never the same from year to year, given that the processing is artisanal.
It is still a pleasant cheese to taste, not invasive, perhaps together with a good glass of Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino wine.
