More Information
Description A pecorino aged 40 days, produced by Cugusi dairy with pasteurised sheep's milk obtained from property flock and from 4 local shepherds. The rind is treated with tomato sauce
Appearance The rind is thin and red because of the treatment with tomato sauce; the paste is soft to semi hard and its colour is white to ivory, with small scattered eyes
Taste The taste is long, buttery and round; the aftertaste is round, slightly acidic but mild
Maturing At least 40 days
Curiosity The treatment with tomato sauce is a traditional tuscan technique for transferring some acidic notes to the pecorino cheeses
Our selection The history of the Cugusi dairy begins in 1962, when Raffaele and Maria Cugusi moved from Sardinia to Tuscany, taking with them the ancient artisan techniques of dairy processing. The dairy is located on the picturesque hills between Montepulciano and Pienza, among olive trees, vineyards and pastures. These pastures, famous for the quality of their herbs, are the natural food of the flocks and give to the milk and to the cheese a delicate and unmistakable flavour, which immediately convinced us
Suggestions Perfect in pureness with a slice of tuscany bread (bread produced without salt). We suggest to serve it at room temperature

Caseificio Cugusi - Montepulciano (SI) - Tuscany

Why we chose them
The story of Caseificio Cugusi began in 1962, when Cugusi Raffaele and Maria moved from Sardinia to Tuscany, bringing with them the ancient techniques of cheese-making. Currently the management of the dairy is entrusted to their daughters, Giovanna and Silvana and their husbands, but the rest of the family, other 7 brothers, contributes in various ways: with agriculture, farming and farm management. The dairy is located on the beautiful hills between the Renaissance town of Pienza and Montepulciano, an area of 190 hectares with olive groves, vineyards and pastures. These pastures, famous for the quality of their herbs give to the cheeses of the Cugusi family the unmistakable flavor and quality.
