The Pecorino di Fossa from Gastronomia Beltrami is a cheese made from thermized sheep's milk and aged for at least 5 months in a pit in the snowdrifts of the Palazzo Rusticucci in Cartoceto, in the Marche region. It is made from the milk of Sardinian and Sopravissana sheep, raised on pasture in the high hills, above 500 meters in altitude.
The maturation of the pecorini aged by Gastronomia Beltrami takes place in two caves dug into tuff and clay, which were traditionally filled with snow to refresh the pantry above. The pits are usually prepared in August, when the bed is set up where the forms of pecorino cheese are then arranged with various aromatic herbs. Once the hatch is closed, fermentation begins, creating the yeasts and molds that characterize the aging flavors of this extraordinary type of cheese. After 100 days, the pits are reopened, and the aging continues on wooden boards.
The pecorini di fossa from Gastronomia Beltrami are the result of a great passion nurtured over time. The great strength of the Beltrami family is the control of the entire supply chain, transforming exclusively the milk from sheep raised on the farm with particular attention to their health.

The Pecorino di Fossa di Gastronomia Beltrami (which we present here in a 500g portion) is a delicious cheese to eat at the end of a meal with some fruit mustard or with chestnut honey or even wildflower honey. It pairs excellently with full-bodied white wines or dessert wines, as well as full-bodied red wines.
It has a sweet flavor with notes of ripe fruit and cellar. It is never aggressive or intrusive, despite having a notable flavor persistence.
The rind is dark, with shades from pink to orange. The paste is yellow with possible darker spots.
The shape is irregular because it is deformed during the aging process in the pit.
