Flaky and sharp with a subtle sweetness.
Ash and olive oil-rubbed for a complex flavor that won’t quit.
Country of Origin: Italy
Milk Type/Treatment: Pasteurized Sheep
Rennet Type: Animal
This flavorful wedge bridges the gap between aged Roman-style Pecorino Romanos and the younger Tuscan Pecorinos. With a flinty texture, you may not expect it to have such a sweet, mouth-watering flavor. The secret lies in the 8-9 months it spends aging on wooden planks that give each wedge the most heavenly notes of burnt caramel and earthiness.
The father-son duo at Bertagni have deep roots in shepherding and cheese-making. Hailing from Tuscany’s Garfagnana region tucked between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine, their herds of cows, goats, and sheep are privy to some of Italy’s most lush and unique grasses.
Pair with pickled veggies and charcuterie on a cheese plate or grated over your favorite pasta dish.
