Pecorino Cheese
Authentic Tuscan Pecorino: The Gold of the Italian Hills
Indulge in the true essence of Tuscany with our premium selection of Authentic Tuscan Pecorino. Unlike its saltier Roman cousin, Tuscan pecorino is celebrated for its buttery texture, nutty undertones, and the delicate sweetness of 100% pure sheep’s milk. From the clay-rich pastures of Pienza to the rugged Maremma coast, each wheel in our collection tells a story of ancient pastoral traditions and artisanal mastery.
A Texture for Every Palate

-
Pecorino Toscano DOP: The gold standard of Tuscan dairy, protected by strict quality regulations.
-
Pecorino di Pienza: Sourced from the "Capital of Pecorino," these cheeses are often aged in walnut leaves or tomato paste for unique, earthy aromas.

Tasting Notes:
Born to revive an ancient preservation method, it is matured under ash, which removes excess moisture during aging, giving the interior a slightly dry texture while enriching it with aromas. Delicious on its own as a table cheese for its countless nuances; pair it with light beers or white wines.
Caseificio Maremma:
Located in the centre of the Tuscan coast, in Follonica, the company established its headquarters in the mid-1960s and since then has focused its dairy production on typical cheeses from the Maremma area that are renowned throughout the world. The factory, located in the industrial area of Follonica, covers an area of approximately 4,000 square metres, which houses the production facilities and the preparation of the finished product before sale. Particular attention is paid to the maturing phase, which has made it necessary to create a suitable environment away from the production site, specifically in Castel del Piano, on Mount Amiata, where the cheese matures naturally in the mountains at an altitude of 700 metres above sea level, creating the perfect balance of flavours typical of these cheeses.
