Pecorino aged in an oak barrel between chestnut burrs and leaves. A cheeseboard cheese whose flavour is shaped by its ageing material.
The wheels are laid in old oak barrels, in layers with the ageing material, at room temperature. They mature in Tuscany for about 180 days between chestnut burrs and leaves. Air passes between the staves and the final shape is often irregular.
The interior is crumbly and savoury, with an intense forest-floor aroma. The flavour is clean, then mild and lingering. Serve it in autumn with chestnut honey or roast chestnuts.
