Pecorino Aged in Hay is an artisanal sheep’s milk cheese matured while wrapped in hay, which imparts subtle herbal and pastoral notes to the rind and paste. The cheese develops a firm texture and a savoury, gently nutty flavour with hints of dried grass and countryside aromatics. Sliced or shaved, it is wonderful on cheese boards with honey, jams and rustic bread, and grates nicely over pasta, risotti and vegetable dishes. Its distinctive ageing method and evocative aroma make it a conversation piece at the table, ideal for elevating antipasti spreads and special-occasion menus with authentic Italian character.
