Description
Cretoso al Pepe Rosa is a distinctive artisan sheep milk Tomme cheese that combines traditional Italian cheesemaking with the delicate aromatic character of pink peppercorns.
Handcrafted on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this premium cheese is produced from grass-fed sheep’s milk before being carefully matured with whole pink peppercorns. During the ageing process, the peppercorns gradually infuse the cheese with subtle floral spice, gentle fruitiness and refined aromatic complexity while preserving the rich, buttery flavour of the original sheep cheese.
Unlike black pepper, pink peppercorns contribute a softer, sweeter and more elegant spice profile that enhances rather than dominates the cheese. The result is a beautifully balanced farmhouse cheese with a firm yet creamy texture, complex aroma and a long, sophisticated finish.
Produced in limited quantities using traditional farmhouse methods, Cretoso al Pepe Rosa is ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, premium department stores, fine dining restaurants and specialty food retailers seeking authentic Italian artisan cheeses with distinctive flavour profiles.
It pairs beautifully with Champagne, Prosecco, Pinot Noir, Rosé wines, dry sparkling wines, artisan crackers, roasted almonds and premium charcuterie.
Semi-aged sheep milk caciotta with pink pepper, minimum 4 months.
