Their \u003cstrong\u003e'Cinerino'\u003c\/strong\u003e (\"the ashen one\") is among their most distinctive creations: a raw sheep's milk cheese aged beneath a blanket of myrtle wood ashes, a preservation technique rooted in the pastoral traditions of southern Italy. The ash does more than protect the rind — it perfumes it, drawing in the wild, resinous aromatics of Mediterranean scrubland and imparting a mineral complexity that no industrial process can replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath that striking grey exterior lies a paste that is supple and yielding when young, firming into something more concentrated and expressive with age. On the nose: warm lanolin, dried herbs, and a whisper of wood smoke. On the palate: rich, tangy sheep's milk with a long finish of toasted nuts and wild myrtle. The ash rind adds a mineral edge that keeps every bite lively and intriguing. Serve at room temperature with chestnut honey, pair with a glass of Fiano di Avellino, or crumble over roasted vegetables for a taste of Campania at its most elemental.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casa Madaio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cilento, Campania, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw sheep's milk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ash-aged semi-firm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rind aged in myrtle wood ashes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lanolin, dried herbs, wood smoke, toasted nuts, wild myrtle, mineral finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chestnut honey, Fiano di Avellino, Aglianico, roasted vegetables, arugula salad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePricing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Per ounce — order exactly what you need\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOne of southern Italy's most singular cheeses — ancient technique, wild terroir, and the unmistakable character of Campanian sheep's milk.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"67Gourmet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52159651021083,"sku":"G210000001346","price":3.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/casa-madaio-cinerino-sheep-cheese-aged-in-myrtle-ashes-campania-priced-per-ounce","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
