Pecorino Il Giovane is a fresh and flavorful sheep's milk cheese, produced by De' Magi. This cheese is characterized by its creamy texture and delightful freshness, with a subtle taste of milk and fresh grass. It has a smooth rind, which can be consumed as it is not treated with preservatives, adding an extra layer of flavor.
The cheese is known for its softness and slightly sticky paste, with a mild sweetness and a slight saltiness that makes it perfect for a variety of dishes. After maturing for a brief period, the cheese develops a smooth, pale yellow rind. The cheese itself has an aromatic profile reminiscent of fresh butter and a hint of yeast.
