Pecorino Il Giovane

It is our fresh pecorino par excellence, one of our ‘best sellers’, a cheese that in its simplicity is able to amaze for its goodness, its freshness, its taste of milk.

With its characteristic ‘sburrantezza’, that is, soft, which tends to soften, even if you simply keep it at room temperature.

Its traditional processing contributes to strongly characterising the paste and structure of the cheese, but even if it is a fresh cheese, the treatment of the rind by washing it with warm water and repeatedly turning it over in the wooden board, already in the first days of its life, is essential.

The rind is not treated with any preservatives, so it can, indeed must, be eaten, as it is precisely the best part of the cheese. It is washed with care even before shipping, but since it is not treated it may occur that even after only a few days mould may reappear on the outside, no harm done, the mould can be easily removed by washing the rind with lukewarm water and drying it with absorbent paper.

This pecorino is excellent eaten fresh, but it also lends itself to many uses in the kitchen as an ingredient.

The rind is edible.

In 2014 it placed third in the fresh pecorino category at national competition Trofeo San Lucio
