Pecorino Toscano Through The Ages (1.5 pound) by igourmet.com
by igourmet (Misc.)

This assortment compares and contrasts three Pecorino Toscano varieties which differ only by age. It is said that cheese has three main ingredients: milk, salt and time. By sampling these three Pecorino Toscanos, you can taste for yourself the importance of that third ingredient. The fresh variety is aged for only 30 days, giving the cheese a mild, sweet character. The middle variety has been aged for 3 months, giving it more bite but retaining some creaminess and innocence. The most aged variety is called Oro Antico Reserva, which has been aged for 6 months. This may not seem like a long time, but for a small cheese like Pecorino Toscano (its wheels are only 5 pounds each) the aging process moves quickly. Oro Antico is firm textured and quite sharp and complex, especially when compared to its younger siblings.

Pecorino Toscano (8 ounce) by igourmet.com
by igourmet (Misc.)

Unlike our other Pecorino's, this one is not aged. Pecorino Toscano is a young 100% sheep's milk cheese, only about 40 days old when it arrives on our shores. Because it is a young cheese, it is somewhat discreet; almost shy. As the cheese first hits your tongue, you detect a hint of Tuscan herbs, grass and wildflowers. The aftertaste it leaves on your palate is a wonderfully complex flavor that is hard to describe, but easy to enjoy. Authentic Pecorino Toscano is name-controlled by the Italian Government, meaning that in order for a cheese to bear the name, it must be made to exact specifications and only in defined locales. This one is truly a special item. Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.Photo depicts whole 4.5 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.
