Floridia Pecorino Pepato is a natural cheese manufactured from fresh pasteurized cow’s milk. This cheese is a drum-shaped wheel and distributed throughout are whole black peppercorns, firm in texture with a hard body. Pepato is matured for a minimum of 4 months, where it develops its characteristic spicy taste. It is an exciting alternative to the more common Pecorino. The salty, tangy citrusy flavours complemented by the spiciness of the peppercorns make this cheese a great table cheese. Shave it on salads or fresh beans or pastas or grate into polenta or to top risotto.
What a beautiful cheese this is, one that is great to cook with and excellent as a table cheese! It also goes well with fresh fruit like apple and melon.
Serves: Allow 30g cheese per person as an appetiser, 70g if it is a cheese course and 150g if it is the main part of the meal.
