Pecorino stagionato di Pienza

Pecorino stagionato di Pienza is produced in the Tuscan province of Siena from October to July (the best is in spring) with whole pasteurised ewes' milk. Maturation varies from 60 to 180 days. The cheeses are treated with oil, up to 3 months, then periodically with tomato sauce, oil and ash. Its shape is cylindrical with rounded edges and the rind is red-orange, if treated with oil and tomato sauce, or brown if oil and ash. The interior has a colour between white and pale yellow and a slightly pronounced flavour. It is a cheese which, compared to the fresh version, is more brittle, chalky and with greater flavour.
