Pecorino di Bagnolo cheese

Region: Piemonte

Milk: Ewe, mixed

Definition: Semi-soft cheese.

Raw material: Ewesmilk from the breed "delle Langhe" (with the occasional addition of cows' milk), rennet, salt.

Characteristics: Round form with a diameter of 14-16 cm, height of 10 cm and average weight of 2 kg. The rind is smooth and straw-yellow in colour, soft in the fresh cheese variety and hard in the mature variety. The cheese is firm and white, with small, sparse fissures.

Production area: Bagnolo and neighbouring areas (Cuneo).

Production technique: The raw milk is heated to around 35 °C, adding kid rennet in paste form; sometimes, liquid calf rennet is used. After coagulation and once the curds have been broken, the liquid is heated to about 48°C, after which the curds are left to stand for 15 minutes. The curds are then placed in moulds, draining off the whey with a “cannuccia" (straw). The curd surfaces are dry-salted.

Maturing: Up to about one year, in maturing rooms (at about 15°C).
