The 100% silage-free mountain sheep's milk is the most important component of our Pecorino and is thus crucial for its quality. Our sheep graze at an altitude of between 3,300 and 5,300 feet, ensuring an exceptionally aromatic and creamy milk. The Casentino region is located on the eastern edge of Tuscany, on the border with Emilia Romagna, and is characterized by agriculture and craftsmanship. Tourism does not play a major role here and the main commercial activity is sheep breeding with wool and cheese production. In the mountains of Casentino there is one of the largest nature reserve in Italy - the Foreste Casentinesi National Park - where deer, badgers, wild boars and even wolves live. Hardly any sheep's cheese is therefore as varied as the Pecorino from Casentino. Our cheese delights with its spicy taste and is matured and enriched by its unique STRAW rind.
