Description
Granducato di Castro Nero is a premium artisan grass-fed sheep cheese distinguished by its traditional black wax coating, which protects the cheese throughout maturation while allowing it to develop exceptional depth, texture and flavour.
Handcrafted on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this farmhouse cheese is produced exclusively from grass-fed sheep’s milk using traditional Italian cheesemaking methods. The cheese is slowly matured for approximately 12 months, allowing its flavour to become increasingly rich while maintaining a smooth, compact paste.
The distinctive black wax finish preserves moisture during ageing, resulting in a cheese with concentrated aromas, subtle nuttiness and a long, savoury finish. The result is an elegant farmhouse cheese that combines the richness of sheep’s milk with the refined complexity of extended maturation.
Produced in limited quantities, Granducato di Castro Nero is an outstanding choice for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, premium department stores, fine dining restaurants and specialist food retailers seeking authentic Italian artisan cheeses with exceptional shelf presentation.
It pairs beautifully with Barolo, Chianti Classico, Amarone, aged whisky, roasted walnuts, artisan sourdough bread and premium olive oil.
Aged sheep milk cheese, more than 6 months.
