Fresh white Pecorino di Pienza 1kg

It is a typical cheese from Tuscany, hard-textured and obtained from pasteurized sheep's milk. It takes its name from the ancient Renaissance town of Pienza in the province of Siena, created by Pope Pius II. Here, around the Sienese clays, the pastures are poor but ideal for sheep. This is the fresher version, aged for less than a month. It has a milky aroma of yogurt and fresh butter with vegetal notes. 

This cheese has been selected by Giovanni Roncolato from the prestigious Dairy La Casara among the hills of Roncà, under the ancient volcano of Calvarina. In the 1920s in Brenton, Ermenegildo, along with his sons Angelo and Romano, began the activity of cheesemaking. Green pastures climb up to the highest peaks of the Lessini Mountains, the Small Veronese Dolomites. Since '64 the dairy has been run by Romano, who will name it La Casara. This long tradition continues today with Giovanni, Gildo, and Letizia, and it has become one of the most important and refined realities in the Veneto and Italian production landscape. Giovanni has been the true promoter of the resurgence of the DOP Monte Veronese cheese and has sought from the very beginning to bring young people back to the Veronese mountains to regain the tradition of the mountain huts. Today, La Casara is award-winning at international competitions and offers a wide range of its own dairy products made from cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk. Over time, Giovanni has become a refined selector of cheeses from all over the world, and here we present some of them to you. La Casara also has its own production of cold cuts thanks to free-range farming in the lands of Brenton, from which the famous and rare soppressa originates. Authentic flavors, typicity, and genuineness are the fundamental characteristics of this beautiful Italian reality.
