MA-TRU' Amatriciano Pecorino

Milk
Pasteurized Italian sheep's milk, processed within 24 hours of milking.

Ingredients
Pasteurized sheep's MILK, rennet, salt, lactic cultures.

Characteristics
The shaping is still done with wooden molds as traditionally done by old shepherds. It is an aged pecorino of about 8 months that can be aged up to 1 year.
It is a product whose peculiarity is that it is aged in a humid environment, which allows it to refine its enveloping taste. The paste is straw-yellow, tending to be spicy, but never salty, obtained from the use of a strong rennet that enhances its flavor. Externally it has a smooth rind, with an irregular shape of a deep brown with shades tending to black as it ages.

Aging 8 months
