The name, Réhoboam, is ‘borrowed’ from the world of wine, i.e. the bottles with this name correspond to the size of 6 bottles of 750 ml with a total content of 4.5 litres. In this case, the cheese in question corresponds to 6 wheels of about 1.5 kg of golden rind for a total of about 9 kg or something more.
The processing technique is the same as for Crosta d’Oro cheese, but in this case, by changing the size of the wheel and the ripening time, we obtain a totally different pecorino, both in structure and taste. It is a pleasant and very appealing cheese, not only for its large size, but above all for its taste, not piquant but very delicate and balanced, but obviously becoming slightly spicy as it ages.
The classic cheese to be enjoyed with good bread and…. if it is the season, a nice pear abate or some walnuts.
Nothing else is needed to get the right satisfaction.
Defined RESERVE because it is put on the market after about 12 months of ageing in caves and is produced only once a year and with a very limited production run.
Pasteurised sheep MILK, milk enzymes, rennet, salt, surface treated with grape-seed oil and vinegar.
Allergens: Milk and milk derivatesMilk origin:
Italy
Shape: cylindrical, with slightly convex vertical part and flat faces 28 cm in diameter and weighing approximately 12 kg;
External appearance: smooth, unctuous rind, with a slight weave of cloth on the faces, light brown in colour, with more or less dark spots due to the maturing phase and the treatment with oil and vinegar in the rind during ageing;
Internal appearance: a compact, semi-hard, crumbly, ivory-coloured paste with a medium-thick nail;
Aroma: the nose has hints of cooked butter and vegetable notes such as dried fruit and a toasted flavour close to the rind, as well as a slight smell of undergrowth and a medium to strong animal scent;
Taste: sweet and savoury, delicate and pleasant on the palate, it is neither intense nor aggressive; as the cheese matures, it may become slightly piquant, but very pleasant and appetising.
- Food pairings:
A great cheese, to be enjoyed as an aperitif, in cheese platters, in hors d’oeuvres with sliced meats, but also at the end of a meal. Also excellent for use in cooking, cut into slivers over carpaccio or used to whip up pasta dishes. Sometimes also used in buffets or in wine bars as an aperitif.
- Wine pairings:
It can be paired with great structured white wines, although it is much better with red wines, or a champagne.
