FORMAGGIO DELLE FOSSE GOZZI

A cheese made from sheep's and cow's milk, aged for a long time inside tuff pits.

Formaggio delle Fosse Gozzi cheese originates from an ancient tradition dating back to the Malatesta era. At that time, deep pits were dug into the tufa rock of the Sogliano area, and were used to store the food necessary for the survival of the family.
As chance would have it, some cheeses, preserved and forgotten, started the tradition of ageing pits.
We still hand down this ancient technique today, which gives rise to a pecorino cheese with a strong aroma and smooth flavour, with pungent notes, excellent when used at the end of a meal and flaked in many recipes.

The raw cotton bag is available for purchase and use to enhance the point of sale.
