Product details

The fruit of an ancient tradition and meticulous craftsmanship, Walnut Leaf-Aged Pecorino delights with its aromatic complexity.

Aging: Following manual salting and an initial 60-day resting period, the wheels are treated with oil and wrapped in walnut leaves.

Refining: The final maturation takes place inside terracotta jars—a traditional method that imparts a unique texture and a refined flavor to the cheese, finished with pleasant, subtle bitter notes.

Artigiano

The Caseificio Val d'Orcia was founded in 1964 with a clear mission: to safeguard the centuries-old local cheesemaking tradition during a time of profound change. During the years of the great rural exodus, it became a key point of reference, preserving the knowledge of local farmers while welcoming and supporting Sardinian shepherds who migrated to the mainland with their flocks. A winning endeavor that recognized the unique potential of this valley, turning a passion for cheesemaking into a cornerstone of the local economy.
