Nociato

Pecorino meets walnut. And temptation is served. Nociato is a pecorino aged with walnuts, a pairing that is only seemingly simple, able to create an irresistible interplay between the full taste of the cheese and the aromatic, crunchy notes of the nuts.

Ageing gives the pecorino a bold and long-lasting character, while the walnuts add a pleasant rustic note and a contrast of textures that makes every mouthful even more interesting.

It is perfect at the centre of a sharing board, together with Tuscan bread, honey, preserves and more dried fruit, perhaps with a good glass of red wine.

But be warned: it is one of those cheeses that start with “I'll just have one slice” and end with “go on, cut a little more.”

Nociato: the character of pecorino, the crunch of walnuts and all the indulgence of Tuscany.
