IL NOCE AFFINATO

Matured cheese, ripened with walnut leaves, made from sheep's milk.

Ripening is a technique that we have perfected over time. After a skilful maturation process, the cheese is left to rest in special containers, surrounded by fragrant walnut leaves and hermetically sealed. This procedure allows the pecorino cheese to express its properties fully, allowing it to take on unique, characteristic aromas and a moist, chalky, compact texture.
The Noce Affinato is a sheep's milk cheese with a harmonious and refined taste that simply deserves to be on the table of true connoisseurs.

The terracotta amphora is available for purchase and use to enhance the point of sale.
