Description
The 12-month aged Bagnolese Pecorino from Milk Coop is one of the flagship cheeses of the Irpinia company. It represents one of the most deep-rooted traditions of the area, when local farmers and breeders would stop to enjoy the aged pecorino along with other foods to recharge their energy, consume calories, and have a nutritious yet low-cholesterol meal. However, it is not just an important meal for those doing manual labor: aged pecorino is also a table specialty that wins over the palates of many people with discerning tastes! Let's start with the milk. The milk used to produce the walnut pecorino cheese comes from the Bagnolese Sheep, also known as Malvizza. The genuineness of the product is precisely linked to these sheep! Why? The Malvizza sheep are left to graze freely and feed on what nature offers them in the Irpinian pastures. The Bagnolese pecorino is expertly handcrafted, following exclusively traditional methods. The 12-month aging process gives the cheese an intense and full-bodied flavor, with a tendency to be spicy.
