Piccante di Trexenta

Piccante di Trexenta is a pecorino table cheese, made using only fresh sheep’s milk from pastures of Sardinia’s countryside. It has a strong flavour which combines with the mildness of the cheese. It is flavoured with red pepper which gives it a strong, piquant taste with spicy notes. It is cylindrical, with a straight outer edge, and weighs about 2.50 kg. Its maturing requires a period between 20 days and 6 months. The paste is soft, compact, red/straw coloured, veined with small red pepper flakes.  It is excellent served with dark chocolate to exalt its piquant scent and for those who love trying different flavours.
