An authentic-tasting sheep's milk cheese, aged in the traditional way.
Gran Cru di Grotta fully expresses the qualities of our territory.
It is a pecorino with an authentic taste, perfected thanks to the delicate ripening process in a natural setting, which guarantees the ideal microclimatic and environmental conditions.
Here, as it once was, expert hands oversee the maturing of the cheese, carefully following every step of this important chemical and microbiological transformation.
The humidity, temperature and semi-darkness help shaping the strong taste and enveloping flavour that characterise the Gran Cru di Grotta cheese.
The wooden shelf is available for purchase and use to enhance the point of sale.
