Description
Cretoso al Pepe Nero is a premium artisan sheep milk Tomme cheese that combines the richness of traditional Italian farmhouse cheese with the bold aroma of cracked black pepper.
Produced on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this handcrafted cheese is made exclusively from grass-fed sheep’s milk before undergoing careful maturation with premium black peppercorns. During ageing, the pepper gradually infuses the cheese with warm spice, earthy aromas and a subtle peppery finish while preserving the rich, buttery character of the original Tomme.
The result is a beautifully balanced artisan cheese with a firm yet creamy texture, complex savoury notes and a lingering finish that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the natural sweetness of the sheep’s milk.
Every wheel is produced using traditional farmhouse methods, from pasture to maturation, ensuring exceptional quality, complete traceability and authentic Italian terroir.
Produced in limited quantities, Cretoso al Pepe Nero is an excellent choice for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, premium department stores, fine dining restaurants and specialist food retailers looking for distinctive artisan cheeses with broad culinary appeal.
It pairs beautifully with Chianti Classico, Barolo, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, craft beer, cured meats, artisan bread and premium olive oil.
Semi-aged sheep milk caciotta with black pepper, minimum 4 months.
