Belicino

This unique Italian hard cheese is typically found only in specialty shops. It originates from the Belice Valley in Sicily, hence the name. This hard cheese is made from sheep’s milk with the addition of local olives (Oliva da Tavola Nocellara del Belice).

The production of Belicino started in the period after WWII. Pair the cheese with strongly-flavored fruit such as oranges and pomegranates.
