Pecorino Red Marzolino
Product code
Availability
All the cheese produced in spring when the sheep could finally feed on fresh grass, was once known as Marzolino (March cheese). This cheese is now produced all year round so the name now identifies a specific type of cheese with a specific shape (yet each producer can make it in different shapes), rather than its period of production.
The cheese making process is similar to that of fresh pecorino cheese; however, the real difference is in the salting stage and when the pieces are turned over. In fact, they are placed next to each other and turned over 6 times in the first two days to ensure they take the shape of a “gianduiotto”* which is their unique characteristic.
It also goes through an ageing process, which ranges from 40 to 60 days, and takes place at controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The rind is treated with oil and tomato paste.
Pasteurised sheep MILK, live milk enzymes, rennet and salt. The rind is treated with tomato sauce. ALLERGENS: MILK and MILK protein
Forme : parallélépipède triangulaire aux extrémités arrondies irrégulières;
Aspect extérieur : croûte soutenue, de consistance moyenne, lisse et rugueuse avec présence des signes de la fuselle, la couleur est rouge dû précisément au traitement en croûte avec la tomate;
Aspect intérieur : la pâte est compacte et légèrement élastique, de couleur blanc ivoire, avec de petites ouvertures de dimension œil de perdrix, espacées uniformément. ;
Odeur : on perçoit clairement au nez des secteurs lactiques où émerge nettement le beurre cuit, mais aussi des senteurs végétales d’herbe;
Saveur : en bouche, il est soluble, sucré et légèrement salé avec une persistance moyenne.
- Food pairings:
This cheese is great if served fresh as an appetizer with fava beans, and also served on a nice platter with cold cuts.
- Wine pairings:
It goes well with any red Chianti as long as it is not too structured.
