Forte Scuro translates to ‘strong, dark’ – reflecting the sharp flavours and crumbly texture of this matured cheese rubbed with ash and olive oil during an extended maturation. Even though up-front this cheese is quite bitey, the finish is still well-balanced and grassy – characteristic of good Tuscan pecorino. This is a great cheese for anyone looking for a full-flavour that isn’t too salty or piccante.
