Description
Giglio di Castro is a distinctive artisan sheep milk Tomme cheese that celebrates the bold flavours of central Italy by combining traditional farmhouse cheesemaking with carefully selected Italian chilli peppers.
Produced on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, this premium cheese is handcrafted from grass-fed sheep’s milk before undergoing maturation with natural chilli peppers. The ageing process allows the spice to integrate slowly into the cheese, creating a gentle, balanced heat that enhances the rich flavour of the sheep’s milk without overpowering it.
The result is a firm yet creamy artisan cheese with a beautifully balanced combination of savoury richness, buttery notes and a refined spicy finish. Every wheel reflects the quality of the farm’s grass-fed milk and the generations of traditional cheesemaking that define Tenuta Il Radichino.
Produced in limited quantities using authentic farmhouse methods, Giglio di Castro is ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, premium delicatessens, luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants and specialist food retailers looking for distinctive Italian artisan cheeses with broad culinary appeal.
Its subtle heat makes it an excellent accompaniment to cured meats, grilled vegetables, artisan bread and Mediterranean cuisine. It pairs beautifully with Chianti Classico, Nero d’Avola, Barbera, craft beer and full-bodied red wines.
