Casgiu paisanu

Casgiu paisanu is a traditional cheese produced in Corsica. This farmhouse cheese is made from raw sheep’s milk, and it’s left to age for a month before consumption. Underneath its thin, sticky, washed rind, the texture is creamy, smooth, and soft.


The aromas are very intense and pungent, while the flavors are strong and slightly salty. It’s recommended to leave this small cylindrical cheese at room temperature for an hour before indulging in it. Pair it with a glass of Trappist beer and serve it with fresh bread.
