English Pecorino – Sheep’s Milk – Thermised – Vegetarian Rennet (Shepton Mallet, Somerset)
A hard sheep’s milk cheese taking inspiration from its Italian cousin. Matured for five months to allow optimum flavour development whilst retaining a good moisture content to create its creamy texture. It has a typical “sweet and nutty” profile and alongside this, a deep umami, savoury flavour rounds it off. The texture is firm and toothsome yet yielding.
