Description
Pecorino Affinato alle Foglie di Noce is a remarkable artisan sheep milk Tomme cheese that celebrates one of Italy’s oldest and most distinctive cheese ageing traditions.
Produced on the Pira family’s farm in Ischia di Castro, central Italy, this premium cheese is handcrafted from grass-fed sheep’s milk before undergoing a careful secondary maturation wrapped in natural walnut leaves. During the ageing process, the leaves gradually impart delicate earthy aromas, gentle tannins and subtle woodland notes while preserving the authentic richness of the original Tomme.
The result is a beautifully balanced farmhouse cheese with a firm yet creamy texture, refined complexity and a long, elegant finish. The walnut leaves contribute a unique aromatic profile that enhances rather than overpowers the natural sweetness and richness of the sheep’s milk.
Produced in limited quantities using traditional farmhouse methods, Pecorino Affinato alle Foglie di Noce is ideal for gourmet cheese boutiques, luxury hotels, department stores, fine dining restaurants and premium food retailers seeking authentic Italian artisan cheeses with exceptional regional identity.
It pairs beautifully with Barolo, Chianti Classico, aged Nebbiolo, premium red wines, toasted walnuts, artisan sourdough and wildflower honey.
