Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP Italian Sheep Cheese

Italian Pecorino Toscano is a traditional, hard, sheep's milk cheese from Italy. It is firm and dense in texture with a complex, nutty flavor. Pecorino Toscano is a young sheep's cheese, only about 40 days old when it arrives on our shores. Because it is a young cheese, its flavor is somewhat discreet, almost shy. Upon first taste, you detect a hint of Tuscan herbs, grass and wildflowers. The aftertaste is a wonderfully complex flavor that is hard to describe but easy to enjoy and very special. It has a yellowish rind with a flavor that is fragrant and savory. Authentic Pecorino Toscano is name-protected by the Italian Government. Cut cheese, up to 5 lb.
