Cheese
Pecorino canestrato is cheese obtained from the processing of raw milk with rennet and salt. The cheese is then left to mature in a special ventilated natural temperature with low humidity, on wooden tables. The cheese changes its flavor with the increase of the seasoning time. For the particularities of its proteins it is considered a food full of high bio-nutritious and dietetic values.
Verdici offers different types of cheeses, excellent for cooking, desserts and snacks.
