Bagnolese Pecorino aged with Taurasi wine 900g

The Pecorino Bagnolese aged in Taurasi wine from Milk Coop is a cheese that is described as unique in its kind as it represents a double excellence from Irpinia: the raw material, namely the milk of the Bagnolese Sheep, and Taurasi wine, prized and known by connoisseurs. To define this exquisite cheese is reductive!

First of all, let's talk about the raw material. The milk used to produce the pecorino cheese in Taurasi wine comes from the Bagnolese Sheep, also known as Malvizza. The genuineness of the product is closely linked to these latter! The reason? The Malvizza sheep are allowed to roam freely and feed on what nature offers them along the trails of the Irpinian pastures.

The cheese is then immersed in Aglianico Taurasi wine until it takes on a dark color on the outside. It is at that moment that the aroma of the wine has definitively transferred to the cheese. 
This cheese represents the union of two Irpinian territories: Bagnoli Irpino for the milk and Taurasi for the wine.
The aging of the pecorino bagnolese in Taurasi wine is about 9 months.
