We tried to give a second life to a product that was manufacturing waste and destined to be thrown away. That’s right, the Biobacche Toscane agricultural company which produces various agricultural products, including splendid particular fruit juices, made by pressing the fruit, in this case with the production of their blueberry juice, the peels represented waste and we have used as an ingredient for refining our pecorino.
The result surprised us, because it gave the product not only its typical dark blue-purple color, but also the flavor of the cheese was pleasantly contaminated.
We recommend starting to taste the cheese from the paste and then finally tasting the rind too, to savor all the characteristic fragrance of this added fruit.
