Product details

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

Processing: The pasteurized milk is curdled, hand-pressed, and left to rest in temperature-controlled environments to achieve the perfect pH balance.

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.

Ingredients

Pasteurized sheep’s milk, salt, rennet, selected lactic ferments, sunflower oil, walnut leaves on the rind.

INEDIBLE RIND.

Origin of milk: Italy.

Keep refrigerated between +4°C and +8°C.

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.
