Casa Pedona produces a truly unique sheep's milk cheese, but we can't call it pecorino, it has a name that reflects its truly unique characteristic, this is how
Formaggio Bruschino came about
Casa Pedona and Lo Scoppolato
Bringing new life to a different sheep's cheese with a new spirit. This is how Lo Scoppolato was born, gradually becoming, with sacrifice and love, a sought-after creation appreciated by food journalists, star chefs but above all by the many enthusiasts of
good cheese. A dream that became a truly delicious reality! Because, let's remember, never abandon your dreams when you wake up in the morning. During the process, the product undergoes ageing with a particular humidity level in order to obtain a properly aged product that enhances its flavour. Lo Scoppolato is a
taste experience. Not only for those who
love cheese but also for those who want to discover an intense flavour.
Formaggio Bruschino
In the
Bruschino, the master cheesemaker has created an extremely refined
pecorino.
 It is an
ewe's milk cheese with an elastic texture that is aged in pure raw
beeswax from the honeycomb cappings. This is the wax that bees use to seal and close the cells containing the honey. After about 20 days, it is placed in a container with beeswax that has been heated and melted. It is literally
immersed in wax.
A wax crust forms that covers it entirely. In this way the cheese is not in contact with the outside environment. Protected by the
wax crust, the cheese
continues to develop. Gradually, during ageing, pleasant
notes of honey develop. Delicate and intriguing. A unique and balanced flavour between the
sweetness of the wax combined with notes of
bitter almonds that are released in the mouth.
Bruschino is excellent on its own or as an excellent ally in the kitchen for filling crostoni, sandwiches and pizzas.
Recommended pairings: it goes very well with rosé wines, fragrant white wines and savoury or classic method sparkling wines.
It is the perfect cheese for adding a touch of flavour to focaccia or pizzas. Try it for preparing hot crostoni.
