Pecorino alla Cipolla di Certaldo

The L'Orto Sotto Casa farm was founded in 2016, deciding to expand its land cultivated with vegetables to the current two hectares; here the seasons and natural rhythms are strictly followed, and this is where the Pecorino alla Cipolla di Certaldo is born

Pecorino alla Cipolla di Certaldo

Our company was born with the idea of enhancing the best products of our territory. We carry out our harvests every day. But not only that, we do it: early in the morning and in the early afternoon, so as to always offer the greatest freshness.

A distinctive pecorino in its own right, handcrafted according to Tuscan tradition and enriched with Cipolla di Certaldo, a Slow Food presidium known for its natural sweetness and delicate aroma.
The meeting between the intensity of Tuscan pecorino and the aromatic note of the onion creates a balance of authentic flavours, capable of surprising.

• The Cipolla di Certaldo gives the cheese a sweet and aromatic note, making the pecorino unique in character. The delicacy of sheep's milk pairs with the gentle taste of the onion, creating a genuine and typically Tuscan product, perfect to enjoy on its own, with rustic bread, or to enrich appetisers and gourmet dishes.

• Taste: delicate, with a sweet and aromatic aftertaste

• Texture: compact and crumbly, typical of semi-aged pecorino

• Aroma: fragrant, with delicate notes of onion

Recommended pairings

• Pair with soft white wines or young reds. Enjoy with nut jams or mostarda.
