Pecorino Toscano Stagionato, Il Forteto - 8oz

Product ID: 511009Z

This popular sheep's milk cheese from Tuscany is available in a variety of ages, from about a month to a year or more. Forteto is aged for three months, which could be considered adolescence for this cheese, as it is when many changes start to occur: the paste firms up dramatically, and the straightforward, tangy notes change to something deeper and more complex. At this stage, Toscano becomes savory, herbaceous, and slightly salty, with warming notes of toasted nuts and alliums. It's a great example of how delicious a sheep's milk cheese can be, and should be given the spotlight on a cheese plate. Second-day shipping required. Approximate weight 8oz.
