Pecorino Crotonese DOP Semistagionato

Soft and sweet cheese, white or slightly straw-coloured. The rind is thin and canestrata of a straw yellow colour, while the paste is uniform and creamy, with rare holes and of a milky white colour. The flavor is decisive, soft and slightly acidic. Obtained from sheep's milk from farms located in the PDO production area, whose basic diet consists of green fodder, coming from a maximum of 4 milkings. It is produced from the first weeks of October to the first weeks of June.

The area of origin of the milk, production and maturation of our Pecorino Crotonese DOP includes the municipalities of the Province of Crotone. The pasteurized milk, inoculated with native lactic ferments, is added with kid rennet paste; the curd, therefore, undergoes a break to the size of a grain of rice. The mass is semi-cooked at 42-44°C, the paste obtained is poured into baskets for manual pressing; finally, the wheels are stewed and immersed in whey at 55°C.
