Pecorino Toscano Dop Fresh Fixed Weight Wedges

From the idyllic, rolling hills of Tuscany's Val D'Orcia—a landscape immortalized in art—comes a cheese that captures the fresh, milky essence of the region itself: the young Pecorino Toscano DOP. While the name Pecorino dates back to Roman times, the Tuscan style has long been celebrated for its more delicate and approachable character. Under the strict supervision of its Consortium, this "Fresco" or Fresh version is aged for just 45-60 days. This brief period is intentional, designed to preserve the sweet, clean flavor of the local sheep's milk and the subtle, grassy notes of the Sienese pastures. It is a true taste of a Tuscan spring, a snapshot of its terroir in its most youthful form. For the Houston-based Italian restaurant or caterer seeking a remarkably versatile and authentic cheese, this is a kitchen staple. Its mild and fruity flavor profile has a broad appeal, and its excellent semi-soft melting texture makes it a superior choice for panini, pastas, or shaved over vegetables, offering a lighter, fresher alternative to more pungent, aged pecorinos.
