Pecorino di Missanello Sheep's Milk Cheese

Pecorino di Missanello, a Traditional Cheese from Basilicata

Pecorino di Missanello is an artisan cheese typical of Basilicata, traditionally made with sheep's milk and brief ageing that preserves its freshness, softness and balance. It is one of the region's most representative cheesemaking specialities, appreciated for its delicate flavour and great versatility at the table.

Short Ageing and a Delicate Flavour

Pecorino di Missanello is aged for approximately two to three months, developing a thin rind and a firm yet soft interior. This limited maturation allows it to retain a harmonious, pleasantly milky flavour, making it perfect to enjoy on its own or as the centrepiece of cheese boards and starters.

Perfect with Sulla Honey and Rustic Bread

Pecorino di Missanello is ideal served in slices, accompanied by rustic bread and a delicate honey such as sulla honey, which enhances its aromatic notes without overpowering its flavour. It also pairs perfectly with traditional cured meats, artisan preserves and young white or red wines from Basilicata.

Refrigerated shipping is recommended from June to September (option available at checkout).
