Casa Pedona and the Scoppolato
Bringing a different sheep's cheese back to life with a new spirit. This is how Lo Scoppolato was born, which has slowly, with sacrifice and love, become a sought-after reality appreciated by food journalists, starred chefs but above all by the many enthusiasts of the good cheese. A dream that has become a delicious reality! Because, remember, never give up on dreams when we wake up in the morning. In the process, the product is subjected to seasoning with a particular humidity in order to obtain a product with the right seasoning and to enhance its flavor. Scoppolato is ataste experience. Not just for whom loves cheese but also for those who want to discover an intense flavour.
Brandan cheese
To describe this cheese we must take a step into the past. It goes back to end of 1400 period in which Bartolomeo Garosi, known as Brandano, lived. A singular character born in Petroio (Si). A character who inspired this cheese. Irregular in shape, crazy and sincere like the Tuscan mystic. From this idea a multi-handed collaboration was born with Roberto Governi and Gabriele Fabbri, producers of the pecorino cheese from Seggiano and the adventure began.
After about a month, the cheese wheels are wrapped in one mixture of spelled and beer. A refinement that gives unique scents. Refinement that happens inside terracotta containers. In this microclimate the cheese matures, absorbing all the aromas of the spelled and its beer aromas.
After this period, after about 30 days of this process the cheese is “removed” to be left to dry.
Sheep's milk cheese, it is matured for about forty days, and then wrapped in a mixture of spelled and beer. To then continue maturation for a further forty days.
The Brendan It is excellent as it is, when tasted we will find aromatic notes due to the spelt enhanced by theacidity of beer. A unique and bizarre product like Bartolomeo Garosi known as Brandano.
