Description
Pecorino Affinato al Fieno is a premium artisan sheep milk Tomme cheese inspired by one of Italy’s oldest cheesemaking traditions—ageing cheese in fragrant natural hay.
Handcrafted on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this exceptional cheese is produced from grass-fed sheep’s milk before undergoing a careful secondary maturation surrounded by aromatic hay. Throughout the ageing process, the hay gently infuses the cheese with subtle meadow aromas, delicate herbal notes and remarkable complexity while preserving the authentic character of the original Tomme.
The result is a beautifully balanced farmhouse cheese with a firm yet creamy texture, elegant earthy flavours and a long, refined finish. The natural aromas of dried grasses and wild herbs perfectly complement the richness of the sheep’s milk, creating a unique expression of the Italian countryside.
Produced in limited quantities using traditional farmhouse methods, Pecorino Affinato al Fieno is ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, department stores, fine dining restaurants and premium food retailers seeking authentic artisan cheeses with a compelling regional story.
It pairs beautifully with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, farmhouse ales, artisan sourdough, roasted nuts, wildflower honey and premium olive oil.
