Pecorino cheese aged in fig leaves 200g

Sheep cheese is wrapped in fig leaves which ensure better preservation and, above all, release their whey that hardens the crust and gives it a pleasant floral sensation.

Subsequently, the pecorino thus wrapped is left to mature inside used French oak barriques that previously contained wine suitable for Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG. 

Pecorino cheese aged in fig leaves 200g: How is it produced

Caseificio Facchini Walter, Umbria

The uniqueness of this cheese is not only due to the fact that it is aged wrapped in fig leaves, but especially because the aging period takes place entirely inside used barrels from Valpolicella. At the end of the maturation, the vegetal sensations of fig delicately blend with the winey and vanilla notes of the French oak wood. Very intriguing.

Beautiful floral and herbal sensation of fresh aromatic herbs. There are also hints of vanilla and oak marked by the wine.

The cheese, in its slow maturation, acquires a very pleasant and unique flavor given by the aromas of the leaves and the oak of the barrels. 

To pair with medium-bodied red wines, such as Tuscan Sangiovese or Alto Adige Lagrein.
