Smoked pecorino bagnolese

The smoked pecorino bagnolese made by the company  Milk Coop comes straight to your table, giving those who love genuine flavours the chance to enjoy it. Made with milk from the Bagnolese sheep, a native Campania breed found mainly in the areas surrounding Bagnoli Irpino and the Picentini Mountains. Straw-yellow colour, light eyeing, soft texture and delicate flavour are the main characteristics of the smoked pecorino bagnolese. The smoked pecorino bagnolese lends itself to numerous uses, from immediate enjoyment on a cheese board to the preparation of elaborate recipes. A company with ancient roots, passing down milk processing from generation to generation. It was 1800 when it all began. Over 200 years have passed since then, and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has transformed into the Cooperativa Milk Coop, joining with 8 members who daily supply the milk from the Bagnolese sheep for the production of pecorino cheese and the cow's milk from the Irpinia and Sannio pastures for the production of other types of aged and fresh cheeses. Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "maintaining cheesemaking as tradition dictates, always striving to improve ancient production techniques". The milk from the Cooperativa Milk Coop comes from native Campania breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. On the Cooperative's farms, the animals' natural timing and rhythms of life are respected, and they are left free to graze among countless wild herbs in their pastures. This biodiversity gives the milk they provide truly unique organoleptic and sensory properties. For this reason, the smoked, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Cooperativa Milk Coop are seasonal and locally sourced.
