1st you will experience the delicate and refined notes of Pecorino-Castel Gandoldo. This Sheep’s milk cheese is made in the ancient tradition in the beautiful pastures of the Castel Gandolfo area in the Castelli Romani. Castel Gondolfo is an idyllic mountain town in the Alban hills which is one of the most beautiful in Italy featuring dramatic lake & mountain views with crisp clean air, sheep filled pastures, and rich biodiversity, yet just a short drive from Rome. The sheep graze in this paradise and produce a rich, decadent milk which is at the heart of the sophisticated flavor of this artisanal cheese.
Then you will experience the rich flavor of Pecorino Romano-Locatelli. A powerful representation of Pecorino made by a legendary producer near Rome featuring sharp and mouthwatering salty deep flavor notes. This was the cheese of the Roman Empire and has been produced in the area for over 2000 years and over 500 years by the Locatelli family.
