Organic raw milk Pecorino with washed rind

Description

Casale’s washed rind cheese is made from local sheep’s milk. It was inspired by the great alpine cheese-making tradition of the Bergamo valley. The cheese is brine-washed every week, which creates a very selective environment on the rind – only a few moulds can survive. This gives the cheese its distinctive colour, which can range from white to orange to red. The dough under the crust tends to be creamy and finely granular in winter, becoming more compact as the weather gets warmer. This cheese offers a great variety of flavors as it is significantly affected by the climate and the pastures the sheep graze on – in short, it is highly dependent on nature.
