Grifo - Formaggio Pecorino Pilato di Norcia
300g Approx.
A classic semi-hard Umbrian sheep's milk cheese produced in Norcia by Gruppo Grifo Agroalimentare. Crafted from 100% Italian sheep's milk without added preservatives, Pecorino di Norcia Pilato features a smooth, light-yellow rind and a compact, slightly speckled straw-colored paste. Short to medium cellar aging gives it a sweet, aromatic flavor profile highlighted by fresh pasture nuances and a delicate grassy-hay finish. A quintessential element of traditional Umbrian cuisine, it pairs beautifully with chestnut honey, fruit preserves, rustic sourdough, or a glass of Montefalco Sagrantino red wine.
