Blu di Maremma Pecorino Cheese Caseificio Maremma

Tasting Notes:

Born in Tuscany, Blu di Maremma is the first blue sheep’s milk cheese produced by Caseificio Maremma. The result of a true passion for this type of cheese, Blu di Maremma lives up to the expectations that set it apart.

Delightfully delicate and fresh on the palate, yet with its unmistakable aftertaste, it has a balanced aroma where the distinctive flavor of sheep’s milk stands out.
Serve it on its own with rustic bread, pair it with salads, or better yet, enjoy it in first courses

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.
