Pecorino bagnolese aged 12 months

Thanks to the particular native sheep breed, the Bagnolese sheep, found in the areas surrounding Bagnoli Irpino and the Picentini Mountains, the dairy company Milk Coop produces a truly exceptional Pecorino bagnolese aged 12 months.

The Pecorino bagnolese aged 12 months:

The specialty of the product comes precisely from the use of milk from the Malvizza sheep, which is left to graze freely or semi-freely.  Free to feed on completely natural foods: sulla hay, alfalfa and countless herbs from the meadows of Irpinia and Sannio. The milk of the Bagnolese sheep is rich in nutrients that are passed on to the resulting Pecorino bagnolese aged 12 months. This is a cheese with a robust, decisive and penetrating flavour and aroma. For this reason, some serve it with chestnut honey, jams and dried figs. A company with ancient roots, passing down milk processing from generation to generation. It was 1800 when it all began. Since then, over 200 years have passed and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has become the Milk Coop Cooperative. Joining forces with 8 members who supply the milk of the Bagnolese sheep daily for the production of pecorino cheese. Cow's milk from the pastures of Irpinia and Sannio is used for the production of other types of aged and fresh cheeses. Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "to maintain cheese-making as tradition dictates, always striving to improve ancient production techniques". The milk of the Milk Coop Cooperative comes from native Campanian breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. In the Cooperative's farms, nature's timing and rhythms are respected. The animals are left free to choose among the countless wild herbs of their pastures. This biodiversity gives the milk they produce truly unique organoleptic and sensory properties. The scamosciato, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop Cooperative are seasonal and locally sourced.
