Pecorino bagnolese aged 6 months

Thanks to the special 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 6 months.

The Pecorino bagnolese aged 6 months:

The specialty of this product 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 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 6 months. It is a cheese with a robust, decisive 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 milk processing from generation to generation. It all began back in 1800. Since then, over 200 years have passed and the Azienda Agricola Nigro has become the Cooperativa Milk Coop. Joining forces 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. Years have passed but the philosophy has always remained the same: "keeping cheesemaking true to tradition, while always striving to improve ancient production techniques". The milk of the Cooperativa Milk Coop comes from native breeds of Campania, raised with the utmost respect for their nature. On the Cooperative's farms, natural timings 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. For this reason, the semi-soft, aged and fresh cheeses produced by the Cooperativa Milk Coop are seasonal and locally sourced.
