Description
Granducato di Castro Riserva is Tenuta Il Radichino’s flagship reserve sheep cheese, created for connoisseurs seeking exceptional maturity, depth and character.
Handcrafted on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this premium reserve cheese is produced exclusively from grass-fed sheep’s milk using traditional farmhouse techniques. The cheese is slowly matured for up to 24 months, allowing its flavours to become increasingly concentrated while developing a firm, crystalline texture and remarkable aromatic complexity.
Extended maturation produces rich notes of toasted nuts, browned butter, caramel and savoury umami, balanced by the naturally sweet character of premium sheep’s milk. Every wheel reflects the unique terroir of central Italy and the generations of cheesemaking expertise behind Tenuta Il Radichino.
Produced in limited quantities, Granducato di Castro Riserva is designed for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, premium department stores and specialist food retailers looking for one of Italy’s finest reserve farmhouse cheeses.
Its powerful yet elegant flavour profile pairs beautifully with Barolo, Brunello di Montalcino, Amarone, vintage Port, aged whisky, truffle honey, toasted walnuts and artisan sourdough bread.
Aged sheep milk cheese riserva, more than 6 months.
