It is a “two-milk” cheese because it uses the mixed milk of sheep and cow, whose rind is washed with a particular gin from the province of Siena called Senensis. The peculiarity of this Gin London Dry are the botanists used: Rosemary, tarragon, verbena and olive leaf.

Once the various washing steps with gin are completed, dried tarragon leaves and rosemary needles are added, then the crust begins to feather slightly with a layer of white mold.

Obviously the rind is not only edible, but it is essential to eat it because it acquires all the aromatic characteristics of the Gin itself.

Ideal for aperitifs, appetizers, but also in a plateau of cheeses.
