Box Gusto d'Autore

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 character, this is how the Gusto d'Autore Box came about

Gusto d'Autore Box

Bringing a different cheese back to life with a new spirit. This is how Lo Scoppolato was born, gradually becoming, through sacrifice and love, a sought-after product appreciated by food journalists, starred chefs and, above all, by the many enthusiasts of good cheese. A dream that has become a wonderful reality! Because, let's remember, never abandon your dreams when you wake up in the morning. It is a sheep's milk cheese with an excellent taste, made unique by the special processing that the cheesemaker jealously guards. During the process, the product undergoes ageing under a particular level of humidity in order to achieve a properly aged product and enhance its flavour. Lo Scoppolato is a tasting experience not only for cheese lovers but also for anyone wishing to discover an intense flavour. Scoppolato in fact derives from a folk tale linked to a shepherd named Tristano, known as Pedona. It is said that Pedona, every time he met his master, would remove his hat, the traditional flat cap (coppola), as a sign of respect. From this simple, everyday gesture the name of a cheese was born. Like its story, it is rooted in tradition, humility and the ancient knowledge of pastoral life. During ageing, the cheese is placed in humidity-controlled environments and wrapped in walnut leaves. A natural element that deeply characterises its sensory profile. The walnut leaves protect the paste, regulate breathability and release delicate vegetal aromas, contributing to a slow and harmonious evolution of the product. The result is a cheese with just the right maturation, with a compact yet soft texture, an intense aroma and a bold flavour, enriched with rustic and slightly tannic notes typical of walnut. The Box d'Autore was created to let you savour our creamy cheese spread together with our savoury biscuits made with Scoppolato Gran Crù, perfect for aperitifs, and our Salsa Rosa, ready to use to dress pasta. The Box contains: 1 Baciotto, 1 classic Cremosa di Scoppolato, 1 Salsa Rosa Scoppolato (Pink Sauce or Braschetta)    Â
