Pecorino allo Zafferano made by Caseficio il Fiorino is a specialty cheese that combines the rich, robust flavors of aged sheep's milk with the delicate, aromatic essence of saffron. This cheese is known for its firm texture, making it ideal for grating over dishes or enjoying as part of a cheese platter.
The saffron threads are carefully blended into the curd, imparting a distinctive golden hue and a subtle spice that complements the natural sweetness of the sheep's milk. The cheese is produced by Caseficio il Fiorino, a well-regarded Italian dairy known for its high-quality, artisanal cheeses crafted with traditional methods.
