The sun-kissed tradition of Monte Poro

In the heart of Calabria in Southern Italy lies the renowned Monte Poro plateau. Benefiting from a gentle Mediterranean climate and nutrient-rich pastures, the sheep graze on wild herbs and fresh grass. This unique terroir is reflected in every slice of this artisanal Pecorino Fresco. Unlike aged pecorino wheels left to harden for months, this young variety is savored at the peak of its youthful softness.

With its generous fat content (58+ fat in dry matter), this cheese provides a supple, creamy, and elastic bite. The flavor profile is delicately sweet, milky, and aromatic, lacking the sharp pungency of aged cheeses. Slice it generously to serve alongside ripe figs, olives, and crusty bread, or melt it gently over warm dishes. The colored rind protects the cheese during its brief rest; remember to trim it away before enjoying.

Fresh from the knife for the ultimate cheese experience

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we prioritize uncompromised freshness and craftsmanship. We only portion your Pecorino Fresco del Monte Poro once your order is received. It is then sealed airtight in vacuum packaging and shipped in protective chilled packaging with cooling elements, guaranteeing that it reaches your table in prime condition.

How is Pecorino Fresco best served?

This young table cheese pairs marvelously with antipasti platters, cured meats, and fresh fruit. It also boasts remarkable melting properties, making it great inside warm toasted panini or folded into hot pasta.

Yes, it is prepared using pasteurized sheep's milk, ensuring consistent quality, pure flavor, and suitability for all cheese lovers.
