Pecorino Toscano is a unique cheese, produced exclusively with sheep's milk from the pastures of Tuscany and some neighboring areas of Lazio and Umbria, as established by strict production regulations. Beneath its charming pale yellow rind, this delightful cheese reveals a sweet flavor and a fresh milk aroma, which develops into a more intense and structured taste during maturation. Pecorino Toscano with a soft paste has a minimum maturation period of 20 days, but it usually reaches 45-60 days. It is distinguished by its cylindrical shape and the DOP mark stamped in ink on its side. Its rind is thin, uniformly yellow, smooth, and soft. The paste, pale white-yellow, features small irregular holes well distributed. Its smell is delicate, with notes of butter and hay. The taste is sweet and clean. To the touch, the paste is soft, while when chewed it is slightly elastic, somewhat firm but not hard. Pairings: Pecorino Toscano DOP Pienza, with its compact texture and strong flavor, pairs perfectly with acacia honey and walnuts. The contrast between the sweetness of the honey and the slightly salty taste of the cheese creates a harmonious balance in the mouth, while the walnuts add crunchiness and a toasted flavor that perfectly complements the complexity of Pecorino Toscano DOP. This pairing is ideal to enjoy as an appetizer or as a dessert, perhaps accompanied by a good glass of Tuscan red wine. Enjoy your meal!
