Pecorino di grotta, aged between 4 and 6 months, of which the last 2/3 months spent in a cave , an ancient restored furnace where once the bricks were cooked. This is the reason its rind is very dark, with reddish tones, paste-like consistency and more milder delicate flavour than the classic 6-month old cheese, yet still strong, as a result of the raw milk processing.

ADD TO WISHLIST
Podere Casa al Bosco is a completely organic farm. For many years Ada and Sandra bred sheep and goats, continuing the activity of their family with the aim not to forget the simple flavors and ancient traditions.
The history of the agricultural company Podere Casa al Bosco is made of tradition and dedication. Ada and Sandra, in fact, have been working as breeders for at least three generations. In the early 2000s, seeing their parents getting old, they decided to leave their occupations and help them in their work. In 2002 they formed the agricultural company Podere Casa al Bosco that still keeps the family traditions, looking for an integration between the old ways and new technologies to always offer good and genuine products.

Ada and Sandra on their farm breed about 200 sheep of Massese breed, typical breed of Tuscany, originally from Massa Carrara with typical traits that make them different from other breeds.
They can have black, brown or grey coat, but not white, both males and females can have horns and for this they can be mistaken for goats. They have a big constitution which makes them very strong, but also very hungry! The quality of the milk is better but less productive than other breeds.
The production of Casa al Bosco is not big but everything is done with care and attention and following the ancient methods of processing, to rediscover the ancient flavors. For this reason, they use only raw and unpasteurized milk for their cheeses, giving the final product a distinctly sharper taste.
