Pecorino bagnolese aged with mountain flowers

Thanks to the special native sheep breed, the Bagnolese sheep, found in the areas surrounding Bagnoli Irpino and the Monti Picentini, the dairy company Milk Coop produces a truly exceptional pecorino bagnolese aged with mountain flowers.

The pecorino bagnolese aged with mountain flowers:

The specialty of this product comes precisely from the use of milk from the Malvizza sheep, which is left to graze in the wild or semi-wild. Free to feed on completely natural foods: sulla hay, alfalfa and countless herbs from the meadows of Irpinia and Sannio. The milk from the Bagnolese sheep is rich in nutrients that are transferred to the resulting pecorino bagnolese aged with mountain flowers. 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 all began in 1800. Since then, more than 200 years have passed and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has become the Milk Coop Cooperative, joining forces with 8 members who daily supply the Bagnolese sheep's milk for the production of pecorino cheese, as well as 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: "to keep cheese-making as tradition dictates, always aiming 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. In the Cooperative's farms, the timing and rhythms of nature 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 smoked, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Milk Coop Cooperative are seasonal and locally sourced.
