Pecorino Romano is a hard, cooked cheese, produced with fresh whole sheep's milk, coming exclusively from the farms of the production area, inoculated, if necessary, with natural cultures of milk enzymes native to the production area and coagulated with lamb's rennet paste coming exclusively from animals bred in the same production area. Pecorino Romano has a thin crust of light ivory or natural straw color, sometimes covered with a neutral or black food protective coating. The paste of the cheese is compact or slightly peeled and its color can vary from white to straw-colored, more or less intense, depending on the technical conditions of production. The taste of Pecorino Romano is aromatic, slightly piquant and savory in table cheese, intensely piquant in grating cheese. The cheeses are cylindrical with flat faces, with the height of the heel between 25 and 40cm and the diameter of the plate between 25 and 35cm. The weight of the cheeses can vary between 20 and 35kg. The cheeses bear on the heel the mark of origin (a rhombus with rounded corners and containing within it the stylized head of a sheep) with the wording Pecorino Romano.

Parmigiano produced with milk from the prized Vacca Bianca, a breed native to the province of Modena, whose precious milk, rich in casein and with an excellent fat and protein content, is characterised by extremely high quality. Parmigiano Vacche Bianche, a hard cheese, is produced by processing raw cow's milk, partially skimmed by surfacing, without the addition of additives or preservatives. Thanks to its maturing process, which exceeds 36 months and gives it a very intense characteristic flavour, this Parmigiano contains a very low percentage of lactose, which makes it suitable for consumption by those with intolerance.

Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Brune DOP is crafted from the milk of Bruna cows, a breed deeply rooted in the Parmigiano region since around 1870. Its prominence increased around 1900 thanks to the efforts of Professor Bizzozzero. By crossing the native cattle with Brown Swiss bulls, he established a distinctive breed. The milk from these cows yields Parmigiano with a rich yet delicate flavor, while its straw-yellow hue reflects traditional feeding practices. A cheese that embodies both richness and subtlety. Accompany this Parmigiano with fig jam or aged balsamic vinegar. Enjoy it on its own or grate it over fresh pasta to elevate its unique flavor.

Parmigiano Reggiano DOP Antiche Razze Vacche Rosse is made from the milk of Vacche Rosse di Razza Reggiana. Although the Red breed produces a third less milk than the Friesian breed, it yields more in cheesemaking. In particular, a variant of Casein, the fundamental protein in the milk-to-cheese transformation process, is found in the milk of the Red cows, which ensures better cheese predisposition to long aging and consequently better digestibility. Parmigiano Reggiano Vacche Rosse aged over 24 months DOP is a cheese that, despite its long aging, maintains a sweet, delicate, and persistent flavor. Additionally, its organoleptic properties are unique, with a characteristic straw-yellow color, grain elasticity, and an intense yet delicate aroma that persists even beyond 30 months of aging. At the roots of every product, there are animals created by nature and perfected by the hand of the breeder. The Antiche Razze project wants to emphasise the indissoluble link between animal, breeder, product and territory. A tribute to biodiversity, a guarantee of origin of excellence.

Fresh PDO Pecorino Toscano is produced exclusively with sheep’s milk from pastures in the area of origin (Tuscany and some neighbouring municipalities in Lazio and Umbria) as required by the production regulations. Beneath its pale-yellow rind, this wonderful cheese has a sweet taste and a milky fragrance when fresh, an aroma it loses during aging in favour of a more intense and structured taste. Fresh PDO Pecorino Toscano has a soft texture and has been aged for a minimum of 20 days (though this is normally extended for up to 45/60 days). It can be recognised by its cylindrical shape and by the inked PDO logo on the rind. Fresh PDO Pecorino Toscano has a thin yellow rind which is uniform, smooth and soft. The cheese is white/pale yellow in colour and has several irregular and well-distributed holes. Fresh PDO Pecorino Toscano has a delicate aroma of butter and hay and the taste is sweet and clean. The cheese is soft to the touch. When chewed it is not stretchy but rather solid without being hard.
