Codice

Size 1 kg
The production area of this Pecorino from Pienza, Tuscany, is the surrounding area of the “Crete Senesi”, low, rounded hills that offer poor but excellent pastures for sheep.
The most traditional and artisanal version of Marzolino Tuscan cheese, made from pure sheep's milk. The treatment of the rind with tomato juice serves as a protective function.
Its name derives from the month of March, when its production traditionally begins. This connection to the month of March is due to the fact that at this time, the fresh spring grass gives the milk a particularly rich and aromatic quality, which reflects in the flavor of the cheese.

Chef's Tip

The Company
When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti, in 1876, began aging Gorgonzola, his brilliant intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. The rest is simply history! Over time, the Guffanti family has specialized in selecting, aging, and refining the best Italian and international dairy products: the experience gained with Gorgonzola, which remains their flagship, has gradually been transferred to all other types of cheese.
Five generations later, the focus on the artisanal quality of dairy products and the passion for careful aging continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, which is now recognized as one of the best cheese refiners in the world.
