Marcelli Formaggi - ‘Pecorino Brigantaccio’ (Abruzzo, Italy, 4.5 oz.)
This organic cheese is aged 1-2 years, made from organic raw sheep's milk, salt, rennet and natural bran.
With some cheeses, you taste something. With Pecorino Brigantaccio—a fragrant, organic, raw sheep’s milk cheese from Abruzzo—you feel something. Excitement. Effervescence. Heat. The hilarity and glee that breaks out at a spectacular fireworks show.
Pecorino Brigantaccio is one of a kind, and it stands out on cheeseboard. Nibble nuggets of the cheese with raw vegetables (thinly sliced onions) or seasonal fruit. And douse the flames with a glass of juicy Montepulciano d'Abruzzo.
