Pecorino di Pienza aged in fossa is made by Fattoria Buca Nuova in Pienza, in the Val d'Orcia (Siena), from pasteurized sheep's milk. After 4 months of aging in a controlled environment, each wheel is wrapped in a cotton bag and lowered into the fossa, the traditional underground pits of Sogliano al Rubicone, where it finishes maturing and often takes on an elongated, irregular shape.

The rind is thin, crumbly and slightly oily, and is best scraped off before eating. The straw-yellow paste, with a few small eyes, has a bold, complex and slightly piquant flavor with notes of sheep's milk and hay.

Delicious pecorino!

I have been buying the pecorino cheese aged in a cave many times! It has a smooth, delicious nutty flavor and is not salty! I would recommend it highly to add complexity to your favorite appetizer or main dish!
