Pecorino Aged in Hay And Straw Caseificio Maremma

Tasting Notes:

The rind, covered with hay and straw from the Val di Cornia, encloses a white and delicate paste with sweet, nutty notes.

Ideal with honey and jams.

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.
