Curiosity	From breeding to milking, from production to maturing: everything must be done following the guidelines of the Production Regulation of Pecorino Toscano DOP, in the area of origin, which includes the entire Tuscany region, part of the province of Terni (Umbria) and part of the province of Viterbo (Lazio). The different climatic conditions and dairy traditions of each territory give the Pecorino Toscano DOP variety and nuances of flavors and aromas
Our selection	When we tasted the products of Angela and Simone from Il Fiorino dairy, we realized that they were completely aligned with our philosophy. The thing we liked the more is that they work only the milk of the Maremma area and this means that their cheeses really talk about their territory
Suggestions	Wonderful on itself, paired with fresh fruits or a delicate honey, we suggest a lime-tree honey. Perfet if married with aged red wines, such as Morellino di Scansano, Chianti Classico and Brunello di MOntalcino. Delicious when eaten in flakes or grated enriching plates such as the typical "Ribollita" recipe.

Why we chose them

In Il Fiorino dairy the cheesemaking is a family art started in 1957 in Roccalbegna thanks to Duilio Fiorini. Today his daughter Angela with her husband Simone are managing the company which has gradually grown over the years. During this period Angela and Simone have succeeded in making their dairy products known and appreciated all over the world, while at the same time preserving the authenticy and craftmanship of the products. One of the main strengths of the cheese of Il Fiorino is the raw material: milk comes exclusively from Maremma area and is collected dayly only from selected local farms. The most important production takes place between March and July, respecting the seasonal lactation cycle of sheeps. When we first met Angela and Simone we were impressed by their glee and passion but when we tasted their cheese we understood that we we share the same philosophy.
