Pecorino bagnolese aged 72 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 72 months. A unique product resulting precisely from the use of milk from the Malvizza sheep. Left free-range or semi free-range, it is free to feed on entirely natural foods. Sulla hay, alfalfa and countless herbs from the meadows of Irpinia and Sannio.

Pecorino bagnolese aged 72 months

The milk from Bagnolese sheep is rich in nutrients that are passed on to the resulting pecorino bagnolese aged 72 months. This is a cheese with a robust, distinctive and penetrating flavour and aroma. For this reason, some serve it with chestnut honey, preserves and dried figs. A company with ancient roots, handing down the art of 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 transformed into the Milk Coop Cooperative. Joining together with 8 members who daily supply the milk from the Bagnolese sheep for production. Every day, pecorino cheese is produced along with other types of aged and fresh cheeses, as well as cow's milk from the pastures of Irpinia and Sannio. Years go by but our philosophy always remains the same: "to maintain cheese-making as tradition dictates." We constantly aim to improve the ancient production techniques. The milk from the Milk Coop Cooperative comes from native Campanian breeds, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. In the Cooperative's farms, the animals' natural rhythms and timing 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 scamosciati, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Cooperative are seasonal and locally sourced. It is usually divided into pieces of about 500g
