Description
The cheese in question is a type of sheep's milk cheese that is made in Tuscany and has a specific name that is only given to it when it is made with 100% sheep's milk. The cheese is fresh, mild, and has a grassy taste which pairs well with Creminelli salami, honey, or fava beans.
Until recently, the name Pecorino Toscano could be given to any cheese made in Tuscany with any amount of sheep's milk. The name is now reserved for 100% sheep's milk cheese made only between September and June. This pecorino's short aging time (30 days) and regional origin give it a fresh, mild, and grassy taste. This pairs perfectly with any Creminelli salami, with honey, or fresh fava beans.
