Product Information
All the ranges of Morbidi Pecorino sheep’s milk cheese, aged and matured for a variety of periods, are made with milk from the pastures of Crete Senesi area, where the animals are also bred.
Aging cheese in olive leaves is in keeping with the tradition of the Siena area’s forefathers who used this method to preserve Pecorino during the warm months. The protection offered by the leaves allows the cheese to age slowly, taking on strong and antique flavour characteristics that are long forgotten among other Pecorinos.

Pecorino in Grotta
This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta.

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.
