Pecorino with vegetable rennet (soft and matured)
This particular pecorino cheese was born and developed in the great tradition of Sardinian sheep’s milk, obtained using vegetable rennet, which allows the coagulation of raw milk from extensively grazed sheep.
The cheese is characterized by a soft, elastic texture and sweet notes, derived from both the use of sheep’s milk and vegetable rennet. Cellar aging ensures gradual proteolysis, which over time makes the cheese firm and dry, adding vegetal notes to the lactic flavor of the younger version. The more mature wheels are also excellent for shards or grating over hot dishes.
