Canestrato Cheese

The Facts:

Country: Italy
Milk Type: Pasteurized Sheep
Age: 8 months+

Tasting Notes:

Canestrato di Moliterno is a hard Pecorino cheese made from sheep's milk.

The cheese is matured for at least 3 months, which helps it develop its dense and flaky texture, and sweet and delicate flavour, which intensifies as it ages.

Ours is generally aged further in-house to produce more flavour and a slightly drier texture. Canestrato has nutty and spicy notes, and a grassy, milky, strong aroma.

Our cheese mongers hand cut every cheese to order. We will always try to cut the exact weight ordered, however your piece might be slightly over or under the amount listed. But please know that we cut it freshly and specifically for you.

If you order several cheeses, we will usually make up for shortcomings on weight, if any, on the other cheeses ordered.

All cheeses are wrapped in special cheese paper and sealed to preserve freshness during transit.

Every order includes all the necessary thermal packaging and ice packs required for current weather conditions. Our main focus is getting the freshest product delivered to your door.
