Pecorino Afficato

Now known for having unusual names or however “transgressive” in this case the name goes back to the fact that we refine this pecorino under fig leaves from here precisely becomes afficato. Obviously those who expect to find the sweet sensation or the taste of figs are disappointed, for the fact that using the leaf for aging we do not find at all the characteristic of the fruit, indeed … the leaf gives a slight bitter part, which characterizes the cheese especially in the undercrust, but remains sweet and slightly savory, with a slight acid note inside.

This cheese is only available in certain seasons of the year and in any case very particular, with a characteristic and enveloping taste.
