Pecorino Toscano

A true taste of Tuscany, Pecorino Toscano is a celebrated Italian sheep’s milk cheese known for its smooth, buttery texture and a flavor profile that dances between delicate sweetness and a gentle, earthy tang. Made from the milk of local sheep grazing on the rolling Tuscan hills, this semi-aged cheese is a reflection of its terroir — a region where fragrant herbs, wild grasses, and ancient olive groves shape every bite.

Pecorino Toscano is traditionally aged for a few months, developing a pale, creamy interior with a smooth, slightly crumbly texture and a natural, straw-colored rind. Its flavor is mild and nutty with a subtle grassy note, making it exceptionally versatile — perfect for savoring on its own or incorporating into both rustic and refined dishes.

Perfect Pairings

  • Cured Meats: Serve alongside thin slices of Prosciutto di Parma, spicy Soppressata, or a rich Finocchiona salami for a classic Italian experience.

  • Fruits: Complement its gentle flavor with fresh pears, ripe figs, or crisp green apples. A drizzle of acacia honey or a spoonful of fig jam adds a touch of sweetness.

  • Bread & Crackers: Enjoy with a crusty baguette, rosemary focaccia, or thin, crispy crostini for a delightful contrast.

  • Nuts: Pair with toasted walnuts, Marcona almonds, or pine nuts for a buttery, nutty match.

  • Olives: Balance with briny Castelvetrano or Taggiasca olives for a savory touch.

  • Wine: Sip with a glass of Chianti, a crisp Vermentino, or a bright, fruity Sangiovese to highlight its Tuscan origins.

  • Gourmet Plates: Shave over a fresh arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette, or grate generously over a steaming bowl of pappardelle with wild mushroom ragù for an authentic Tuscan touch.

Whether served in simple wedges with a drizzle of honey or elegantly shaved over fresh pasta, Pecorino Toscano is a true expression of Italy’s artisanal cheesemaking tradition — a taste of Tuscany in every bite.
