Canestrato Pecorino Stagionato- Imported
Canestrato is an Italian, hard, pecorino cheese made from sheeps milk. The name Canestrato comes from the container – traditionally made from woven cane – that holds the curds and imprints its shape on each cheese. Depending on age of the cheese, rind color can vary, ours is straw colored. Due to its hard texture, it has a good reputation as a table cheese and pairs well with fresh, raw vegetables and pears. It can also be grated on pasta and soups.
