“NOCERINO” – Pecorino with Nuts

This cheese is made exclusively from goat’s milk from Italian farms where, during the processing of the curd, the walnuts are inserted in pieces. The unique and different processing technique from all other producers is the secret that helps to make this cheese so different from all other flavoured cheeses on the market.
