Description
Granducato di Castro is the signature mature sheep cheese from Tenuta Il Radichino, handcrafted using grass-fed sheep’s milk on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy.
Produced using traditional farmhouse methods, each wheel is slowly matured for approximately 12 months, allowing the cheese to develop a dense yet creamy texture, concentrated flavour and remarkable aromatic complexity. The extended maturation enhances the natural richness of the sheep’s milk while creating notes of toasted nuts, butter, dried fruit and a long savoury finish.
Every stage of production—from raising the sheep on natural pasture to cheesemaking and maturation—is completed on the estate, ensuring complete traceability and exceptional quality.
Granducato di Castro is produced in limited quantities and reflects the authentic character of central Italy’s rural cheesemaking tradition. Its balanced flavour makes it suitable for both specialist cheese lovers and premium hospitality.
Ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, department stores, fine dining restaurants and premium food retailers, this artisan sheep cheese pairs beautifully with Chianti Classico, Barolo, Amarone, full-bodied white wines, artisan sourdough, roasted walnuts and premium olive oil.
Aged sheep milk cheese, more than 6 months.
