Regular price $21.99
In order for Caseificio Maremma Tuscan Pecorino Fresco DOP to be considered an authentic DOP Tuscan pecorino cheese, by law it must be made of 100% sheep's milk from Tuscany produced only between the month of September and June.
Pecorino Fresco Toscano DOP is a delicious semi-hard, younger sheep's milk cheese that is aged for about one month. This shorter aging period results in a cheese that renders a fresh, grassy taste, also in part to the grass-fed sheep's milk.
By comparison, Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP typically matures for at least four months.
The pliable texture and sweet flavor of Tuscan Pecorino Fresco DOP makes it an excellent table cheese that can be served as an antipasto or enjoyed after a meal served with fruit, or paired with your favorite jam.
Our one-pound portions of Caseificio Maremma Tuscan Pecorino Fresco DOP cheese are hand-sliced to order straight from the wheel, weighed, and vacuum-sealed for freshness.

Love the two younger Pecorino cheeses I purchased from you. Since being in Tuscany I have been looking for a source for the younger varieties but only could find the Romano. Thank you providing an option.
