Caseificio Busti
100% Sheep’s Milk
Whole 1kg Wheel
This Pecorino with Black Peppercorn from Caseificio Busti is a whole 1kg Tuscan sheep’s milk cheese with a creamy, compact texture and whole black peppercorns throughout the wheel. It has the savory flavor people expect from pecorino, with a clean pepper bite that makes it easy to slice, cube, and serve.
Tuscan Pecorino with Whole Black Peppercorns
This is not the sharp, hard Pecorino Romano used mainly for grating. This younger Tuscan pecorino is softer, milder, and better suited as a table cheese. The sheep’s milk gives it richness, while the whole peppercorns add small bursts of spice without taking over the cheese.
It works naturally with Italian cured meats, olives, roasted peppers, crusty bread, honey, or fig spread. Use it when you want a cheese board or antipasto tray that feels a little more interesting than a plain wedge of cheese.
