Pecorino di Forenza

Pecorino made by one of the companies that has most successfully passed down the flavors of the Lucanian dairy tradition over the years. We know the Caggiano Summo company from Forenza because it produces the Pecorino di Filiano DOP.
The flock grazes for eight months of the year and it is a raw milk cheese. It has a minimum aging of three months that can even reach twelve months.
It is immediately recognizable because the cheese paste is compact, has a straw yellow color that becomes more intense with increasing aging.
The crust is hard and golden in color, often treated with olive oil to improve its preservation. On the palate it stands out for a flavor that is strong and robust, with notes of aromatic herbs and hints of pastures.The flavor becomes more complex and spicy as the aging process continues.
