pecorino matured in Umbrian Etruscan pits

11,00

This cheese comes from an ancient tradition, from when in times of war, the most precious goods were hidden in caves or pits dug into the ground. Once the danger was over, the cheese was taken out and, being far more fragrant and better preserved than the one left outside, it was decided to repeat the same preservation process. Thus was born this unmistakable pecorino.

The pecorino is placed in cotton bags to make it deform or in crates to maintain its initial shape and consequently buried in the pits adjacent to our laboratory.

The peculiarity is that it is buried several times during the year, since “it is not the pit that makes the cheese, but rather it is the cheese that creates its environment” by fermenting the pit long before the much vaunted 100 days.
