Pecorino di Filiano DOP
Pecorino di Filiano DOP is a hard cheese made from whole milk from sheep of the Gentile di Lucania and Puglia, Leccese, Comisana and Sarda breeds.
The specifications stipulate that the milk intended for processing into Pecorino di Filiano DOP, coming from two consecutive milkings, must come from farms whose diet consists primarily of pasture, fresh forage, and high-quality hay produced in the described area.
Even the rennet must be artisanal, prepared with precise techniques.
Production takes place all year round.
