The Pecorino di Filiano is one of the DOP products of Basilicata.
Instantly recognizable for its sweet and enveloping aroma. On the palate, it is buttery and soft despite its prolonged aging, which starts from a minimum of 6 months. The wheels can weigh up to 5kg. What makes the Pecorino di Filiano different from other pecorinos? The grazing present in the northern area of Basilicata, rich in medicinal herbs and other wild herbs. In our humble opinion, it ranks among the best cheeses we have tasted in our years of searching for delicacies.
It pairs well with wildflower honey.
