Product Information
Cinerino is a pecorino coated with aromatic ash from local myrtle trees. In the small town of Castelcivita, the feast of St Anthony is celebrated with bonfires where myrtle branches are burnt – this fine, grey ash is collected and used to coat the wheels of cheese to impart a flavour of myrtle and herbs which balances perfectly with the nutty, grassy notes in the matured cheese. A great choice for cheese and antipasti platters. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.

Mimolette 14months+ Matured
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions.

Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

The cheese: This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta. It is coated with fresh hay when it is young to protect the cheese and to add a deep, complex grassy flavour that compliments the rich, buttery flavours of the sheep’s milk. The cheese develops a subtle savoury bite. It is smooth and even on the tongue, coating the entire palate with the flavours of the Tuscan countryside.
