Braschetta Pesto Cavolo Nero e Scoppolato

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, and this is how Braschetta Pesto Cavolo Nero e Scoppolato was born

Lo Scoppolato

Bringing new life to a different kind of sheep's cheese with a fresh spirit. This is how Lo Scoppolato came to be, gradually becoming, through sacrifice and love, a sought-after speciality appreciated by food journalists, star chefs, and 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 a maturing period with a particular humidity level in order to achieve a product with the right maturation and to enhance its flavour.  Lo Scoppolato is a tasting experience. Not only for those who love cheese but also for those who wish to discover an intense flavour.

Braschetta Pesto Cavolo Nero e Scoppolato

In Lucca, "Braschetta" refers to curly kale. A black cabbage with pointed, curled leaves. It is very versatile in the kitchen, used for soups and stews, to make pestos, and braised as a side dish. The idea behind Braschetta came from wanting to create a small line of condiments to enjoy Scoppolato in a new way. Always following the philosophy of good, genuine products, we created a pesto made with black cabbage, Scoppolato and extra virgin olive oil. The interplay of contrasts is very present here: the bitterness of the black cabbage plays a lovely balancing role with the sweetness of this truly unique cheese. The first thing that comes to mind is using it to dress pasta. Perfect for preparing crostini or bruschette to serve as a starter or on a platter. An idea for a crostone? Warm grilled bread with braschetta and lardo! A delight. Pairings: Try it paired with a Chianti Classico
