Pecorino Balze Volteranne is a raw organic pecorino from Tuscany and is made using vegetable rennet of wild artichoke. The cheese is aged in oak barrels for 60 days, the rind covered in oak and olive wood ash. This imparts a unique green olive flavor and a long finish. This cheese is firm, toothsome and it has a nutty texture. This cheese pairs well with many dry white wines and medium-bodied reds. |
