(as of Apr 14, 2023 05:34:50 UTC – Details)

Each Oro Antico Riserva is handmade by the master cheese-maker at Il Forteto by taking a select young, delicious, authentic Pecorino Toscano, burnishing it with olive oil, and aging it in a stone cellar for six months. During aging, more olive oil is applied to the rind as the cheese gets harder and tangier. Finally, each cheese is given a seal of red wax to indicate its special heritage. Oro Antico Riserva has a grainy texture due to the aging process, whereby most traces of moisture escape from within the cheese. Made from 100% ewe’s milk, the flavor is delivered to the back of your tongue with delicate force, imparting overtures of wild herbs and lemongrass. Because sheep’s milk contains a very high percentage of butterfat, Pecorinos are very flavorful but have a tendency to “cry” when they reach room temperature. Made from pasteurized sheep’s milk.Photo depicts whole 4 lb. form of cheese.
