Semi-cured Red Rind Pecorino Cheese- 350/700/1400g

This semi-cured cheese is characterized by a thin non-edible rind with a brick red colour, hence the name red rind pecorino. It is initially refined and then aged for 45 to 60 days, which makes it a young and delicate cheese perfect for every occasion. During the short aging period, it develops a flavour which is slightly sour at first and quickly becomes balanced, slightly astringent and quite persistent in the mouth. 

Andrea De' Magi, whose nickname is the cheese alchemist, was able to turn his passion into a job, becoming a very successful cheese refiner. Andrea likes to always find new combinations and flavours - that's why he is called the 'cheese alchemist' - and he takes great care of all his cheeses. He uses natural techniques - for instance his cheeses ripen in caves, because of their optimal aging conditions - which are complemented by modern technologies to be able to always guarantee top quality. 

His semi-cured red rind pecorino is a classic cheese, perfect on a cheese platter as a starter. Given its short maturation period and astringent flavour, it can be complemented by spicy red pepper or onion jam. It is available in the following formats: 350, 700 and 1,400g.
