Pecorino-di-fossa

Gorgeous organic formaggio di fossa d.o.p. by Luca Pala.
Pecorino di fossa is a sheep’s milk cheese from the area between Le Marche and Emilia Romagna. Wrapped in a cloth sack and buried in underground caves (fosse) to age for 3 months, Pecorino di Fossa is typically loaf-shaped and yellow in color with a rich, earthy and persistent flavor.Served with quince jam, onion jam, honey or salame di fichi (a specialty of Le Marche and Slowfood “presidio”: a mixture of minced dried figs, almonds, walnuts, aniseed liqueur, wrapped in a fig leaf and shaped to resemble a salami), it’s delicious!
