Pecorino Senese cheese is an [[Unpasteurised|unpasteurised]] [[Ewes' milk cheese|ewes' milk cheese]] from the province of Siena in Tuscany. The [[Milk|milk]] is filtered, poured into a copper boiler for the formation of the [[Curd|curd]] and heated to a temperature of 35-38°C; a tablespoon of liquid [[Rennet|rennet]] is added which can be either of animal origin or of [[Vegetable|vegetable]] origin (thistle). The [[Curd|curd]] is cut after about 20 to 40 minutes with a "chiova" and placed into moulds. The subsequent [[Salting|salting]] facilitates the maturation of the [[Cheese|cheese]] and gives it its characteristic flavour. For maturing, the [[Cheeses|cheeses]] are placed on wooden boards and allowed to [[Rest for|rest for]] a period of at least 60 days, after which they are washed and brushed to remove any [[Fat|fat]] that may have formed during the aging process. It comes in sizes ranging from 800 ga 1.5 kg; shapes are round, with diameters of between 18 and 20cm and have a beige rind. The [[Cheese|cheese]] is salty, pale yellow in colour with a soft texture.
