Pecorino Foglie di Noce is a raw sheep’s milk cheese from Italy wrapped and aged in walnut leaves. It has a firm, crumbly paste that’s buttery and mild, but the addition of the walnut leaves infuses the cheese with an earthy flavor and herbaceous essence. Rich and complex, this traditional Italian cheese is best paired with rustic Italian meats like Brooklyn Cured Sliced Finocchiona or Creminelli Wild Boar Salami.
“Pecorinos are some of my go-to snacking cheeses, although they are wonderful in cooking, I find that Foglie Di Noce is special enough to enjoy on its own. The wheel itself is beautifully wrapped in walnut leaves, and with its dusty gray-ish rind, I find it hard not to pick up a piece whenever I see it.”
Pasteurized Sheep's Milk, Rennet, Salt. Rind Treated With Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Walnut Leaves.
Allergens: Milk
- Pecorino is the general term for Italian sheep’s milk cheeses, but the category encompasses a wide variety of styles and flavors.
- Pecorinos are traditionally fatty and buttery due to the high fat content of the sheep’s milk, which can lead to a richer flavor and more gamy notes.
- “Foglie di Noce” means “walnut leaves,” which refers to how the cheese is wrapped and aged.
When you receive your cheese, unpack the order and refrigerate the items. We recommend using the cheese paper we send most of our products in to store the cheese. The cheese paper helps cover the items and stop them from drying out, while also allowing the cheese to breathe. Since cheese is mold, it's a living thing! If you cut off air circulation to the cheese, you can actually cause it to suffocate and spoil at a faster rate.
