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.
It is characterized by a strong personality with a hay-colored rind, and is covered in hay as it matures. This cheese is not heated or pasteurized, thereby maintaining many characteristics of the sheep’s milk. Production is limited to periods when sheep are able to supply milk with the appropriate characteristics. The rind is solid and marked by holes of the natural fermentation.

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

Latteria Vecchio
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Latteria Vecchio is an incredibly popular choice for cheese and antipasto platters. Our artisan version has everything you expect from a well-matured, hard Italian cheese – notes of milk and herbs on the front palate and then a slightly savoury bite to finish with a whisper of fruitiness. Notes of salted caramel or butterscotch might be present in extra mature cheeses. The name ‘latteria’ is a variation on the Italian word for community dairy (latterie) and vecchio = old/matured.
