A fragrant sheep's milk cheese that pays homage to the Italian dairy tradition.
With Canestrato cheese, we have paid homage to the Italian cheese-making tradition. This pecorino cheese is particularly fragrant: its processing involves a long procedure and several steps carried out in a completely artisanal manner. The special feature of this cheese is its produced with semi-cooked curds, which gives it a compact and elastic texture and a very balanced taste.
