Cheese of the Week
Mitica Pecorino Toscano DOP
100% Sheep’s Milk cheese

Pecorino Toscano cheese has a long history dating back to ancient times. It is believed to have been produced in the Tuscany region of Italy for over 2,000 years. The cheese was a staple in the diet of the Etruscan and Roman civilizations, and its production methods have been passed down through generations.

The production of Pecorino Toscano cheese follows traditional methods that have remained largely unchanged over the centuries and is made from 100% sheep’s milk, which is sourced from local farms in Tuscany. Known for its rich and creamy texture, with a slightly sweet and nutty flavor.

Pairings:
This younger subtle Pecorino pairs well with tart apples, fresh figs, walnuts and to wash it down, a chianti classico or Brunello.
