Product Information
Ragusano is an iconic Sicilian cheese made only with Summer milk. It is made according to traditional methods and pressed to form a large ‘brick’ shape, each cheese weighing about 16 kg. It’s made in the same way as caciocavallo and so tastes similar – the flavour is sharp and piccante and there is a rich aroma of herbs, fresh pastures and creamy butter. A great choice if you like strong flavoured cheese with a pronounced bite.
