A Masterful Combination of Saffron and Black Pepper

Pecorino allo Zafferano is a visual and culinary spectacle. The basis of this cheese is formed by the high-quality, sweet sheep's milk. During preparation, pure saffron and whole black peppercorns are added to the curd. The saffron not only gives the cheese its characteristic, brilliant yellow color, but also provides a subtly warm, floral and earthy aroma that goes perfectly with the creaminess of the cheese.

While the saffron provides warmth and color, the whole black peppercorns offer a delicious, spicy counterpart that provides an exciting taste sensation in every bite. The cheese is supple and soft, with a savory undertone. It is a fantastic cheese to enjoy pure with drinks, but also wonderful to grate over a creamy risotto alla milanese or to use in luxurious hot dishes.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pecorino allo Zafferano

Why is this Pecorino so yellow?

The striking, bright golden yellow color of this cheese is created completely naturally by the addition of pure saffron during preparation. This precious spice is known for its intense coloring power and delicate, floral aroma.

Does the cheese taste very sharp because of the peppercorns?

The cheese itself is very mild and creamy. The whole black peppercorns (pepe nero in grani) do provide a spicy bite when you bite into them, but they certainly do not overpower the refined taste of the sheep's milk and saffron. It creates a beautiful contrast.

How should I serve this cheese?

This Pecorino is a fantastic addition to your cheese board, especially in combination with soft honey or sweet fruit compote, which contrasts perfectly with the black pepper. In addition, it is an excellent melting cheese and ideal for grating over pasta dishes or risotto.

Is the cheese made from raw milk?

No, the Pecorino allo Zafferano is produced with pasteurized sheep's milk. This makes the cheese safe for a very wide group of cheese lovers.

How long does this cheese stay fresh?

Thanks to our vacuum packaging, the cheese can be kept in the refrigerator for weeks when closed. After opening, we recommend wrapping the cheese in cheese paper, after which you can enjoy it for at least another 1 to 2 weeks. Also view our other variants in the Pecorino category.
