Product Description
Pecorino "Grand Old Man" comes from the small Renaissance town of Pienza, north of Sienna. Pienza overlooks the Orcia River valley. This area of Tuscany is famous for its pecorinos. In fact, each year in September, the locals celebrate Festa del Cacio, a pecorino cheese festival. For over 50 years the Putzulu family has been making pecorinos in Pienza. Their "Grand Old Man" is based on their grandfather's recipe. Aged for over 15 months, this outstanding pecorino develops a full, rich nutty and fruity flavor. The aged, crumbly texture makes it perfect for grating on pastas and risottos, shaved onto salads, or for dessert with Tuscan acacia honey drizzled on top, but we think it is just perfect on its own. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk. Photo depicts whole 12 lb. form of cheese. We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound. Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.
