Umbria has an antique and grand tradition in the making of cheeses, and continues today to produce cheese with the milk of sheep's that graze in the natural valleys or mountains of Umbria. Often these products are made in very limited production or are seasonal items, and thus are not easily found, except in small specialty stores, which can guarantee, due to diligent selection, the authenticity and wholesomeness of the products. |

FIELDS OF NORCIA

Euro 14,20
(at kg. Euro 20,40)
This rare cheese, obtained from the combination of cow and sheep milk, has an unique characteristic. It is how it is aged: set in the special climate of the fields of Norcia, which are very damp due to the nearby springs of the Sorgo River. The mould, the fermentation and the special effects of the milk create a cheese of a consistency somewhat between soft and tender, and hard and dry. It has a taste that is sweet but strong, with an aroma of the herbs of the fields. It is normally left at room temperature. It becomes irresistible when you add a few drops of Sapa wine sauce. It can be accompanied by a sagrantino passito wine.
