The Pecorino di Pienza Rosso is a typical cheese from Tuscany made from pasteurized sheep's milk sourced from flocks in the Val d'Orcia. It takes its name from the ancient Renaissance town of Pienza, in the province of Siena, created by Pope Pius II.
Around the Sienese clay hills, the pastures are poor but ideal for sheep. The red version is special because it has a longer aging period, about 2 months, but above all because it is colored with tomato juice, which adds a lot of flavor with a nice sweet and slightly spicy component.

The Pecorino di Pienza Rosso is a table cheese that is in high demand, perfect to pair with mostarda and honeydew honey. It pairs well with full-bodied red wines from the Tuscan tradition such as Chianti Riserva.
The rind, thin but quite consistent, has a reddish color due to the typical treatment with tomato sauce according to local tradition. The paste is ivory-white or pale yellow, with small and sparse holes. Sweet and delicate, with notes of butter and pleasant hints of tomato in the crust.
