Slow-cooked in our own kitchen, or chosen at the stall by The Fiaschi family, in Campi Bisenzio.

In short

One hundred percent sheep's milk from Val d'Orcia, and that's all it takes to explain the cheese: the pastures of Pienza are clayey and windy, the grass is different, and the milk carries that difference into the cheese itself. Sapori della Rocca selects it for their counter; they do not produce it.

The cheese has a compact and uniform texture, and its consistency changes with aging. It can be bought as a quarter, a half, or a whole wheel: a kilo and a half is a wheel to keep at home and cut for weeks, not a one-night purchase.

In the kitchen

How long it takes, and what goes on top.

Goes well with Plain. In cold cut and cheese boards. With honey, jams, and compotes.

The kitchen

Sapori della Rocca

A family delicatessen in Campi Bisenzio, at the gates of Florence, with roots going back to the end of the nineteenth century and to the shop where they sold, poured the wine and cooked. The Ricette di Famiglia line — sauces, ragù, dressings and soups — comes from the family's own recipes. The Tuscan cured meats and cheeses come from outside, chosen one by one: it is the trade everything started from. Every week the family is at the markets between Florence and Prato, with two travelling vans.
