Pecorino Transumanza di Remo Raw Milk

Produced as it was ‘once upon a time’, this raw-milk aged pecorino is the result of a desire to rediscover and keep alive ancient cheese-making traditions. It takes its name from the dairy’s founder, Remo Busti, a shepherd from the upper Garfagnana who began his cheesemaking activity in 1955. It is the rediscovery of the taste of making cheese with freshly milked, unpasteurised milk, as was done in the family’s mountain pastures more than 70 years ago. The absence of pasteurisation preserves the identity of the milk and the pecorino, which changes its characteristics, taste and aromas according to the season, pasture and production period.
The taste is full, savoury and strong, the sweet scent of fresh milk blends with the herbaceous notes of the pastures. The light pearl-white paste is slightly open and crumbly, the rind is hard and ivory in colour.
