Cacio di Giove is a delicious and unique aged pecorino cheese made by Caseificio Il Fiorino. This cheese is distinguished by the infusion of Maremma saffron, a high-quality local product that adds a delicate yet intense flavor. The combination of Maremma sheep's milk and pure saffron stigmas creates a perfect balance of sweetness and aromatic depth, providing a rich and distinct taste experience.


This cheese is aged for at least 120 days, allowing its smooth, cylindrical form with a soft rind to mature. The flavor is sweet, with the saffron's unique notes creating a harmonious and elegant contrast. Cacio di Giove pairs beautifully with fruity wines, dark beers, and pear jams, making it a versatile addition to a cheese board or a delicious ingredient for special recipes like risottos or pastas.
