Canestrato
The Canestrato cheese has a brown and striped rind and the color of the internal paste is straw yellow. The structure is compact and homogeneous. The smell is very intense, typical of pecorino cheeses: with herbaceous notes and toasted hazelnuts in the more seasoned ones.
The milk used comes from small grazing farms and is formed in wicker baskets. It is smooth in texture and full flavored, but not overpowering like some less refined sheep milk cheeses.
