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.
