Bagnolese pecorino aged with rosemary

Thanks to the distinctive 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 Bagnolese pecorino aged with rosemary.

Bagnolese pecorino aged with rosemary:

The product's specialty comes precisely from the use of milk from the Malvizza sheep, which is left to graze free-range or semi free-range. Free to feed on entirely 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 aged Bagnolese pecorino with rosemary. This is a cheese with a robust, bold and penetrating flavour and aroma. For this reason, some serve it with chestnut honey, preserves and dried figs. 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 become the Milk Coop Cooperative, joining with 8 members who daily supply the milk of the Bagnolese sheep for the production of pecorino cheese, and cow's milk from the pastures of Irpinia and Sannio for the production of other types of aged and fresh cheeses. The years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "keep dairy processing true to tradition, while always striving to improve ancient production techniques". The milk of the Milk Coop Cooperative comes from native Campania breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. On the Cooperative's farms, natural timing and rhythms are respected. The animals are left free to choose among countless wild herbs in their pastures. This biodiversity gives the milk they provide truly unique organoleptic and sensory properties. The scamorza-style, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop Cooperative are seasonal and locally sourced.
