🧀 Mini Pecorino Rosso - The Cheese Tradition of the Maremma
In the hills of the Tuscan Maremma - the rolling countryside in the south of Tuscany where Mediterranean scrubland meets rich, fragrant pastures - one of the most distinctive cheeses of the regional dairy tradition is born: the Pecorino Rosso Colline Maremmane.
Its most striking feature is the intensely red rind, achieved through a natural external treatment that makes it instantly recognisable on any cheese board. The inner paste is white, compact and tender - the result of an approximately 40-day ageing that follows the fundamental principle of Tuscan tradition: to bring out the natural sweetness of the milk without sacrificing the personality of the cheese.
The aroma is reminiscent of Mediterranean scrubland - wild herbs, meadow flowers, the clean air of the Maremma hills. An aromatic bouquet that speaks directly and authentically of its territory.

🔪 How to Enjoy and Use It - The Maremma Tradition
Mini Pecorino Rosso is a complete table cheese - excellent on its own and versatile in the kitchen.
First: remove the rind The red outer rind is not edible - remove it before serving. The white, compact inner paste is the true protagonist: delicate, with a characteristic note that opens completely at room temperature.
Enjoyed on its own: Remove the cheese from the refrigerator at least 20 minutes before serving. The paste softens slightly and the aromatic bouquet opens fully. Serve with rustic bread, a drizzle of acacia honey or a fig jam - the sweet-savoury contrast is one of the most classic combinations of the Tuscan gastronomic tradition.
In the kitchen:
- 🥗 Tuscan salads - grated or shaved over spelt, rocket and walnut salad
- 🥧 Savoury tarts - ideal in Tuscan vegetable tarts such as spinach and ricotta torta
- 🍝 Cheese pasta - melted over low heat on Pici toscani with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and black pepper
- 🧺 Cheese boards and aperitifs - the 350 g format is perfect for tastings and aperitifs alongside Tuscan charcuterie

🧠 FAQ - Mini Pecorino Rosso Colline Maremmane
Is the red rind natural or artificial? The rind is treated with approved food-grade preservatives that give it its characteristic intense red colour. It is not of natural origin like some artisan cheese rinds, but it is completely safe - it simply should not be eaten. Remove it before serving the cheese.
What is the difference compared to Pecorino Toscano DOP? The Pecorino Rosso Colline Maremmane is an artisan cheese with a short ageing (40 days), produced in the Maremma hills - a specific area in the south of Tuscany. The flavour is more delicate and milky than aged DOP Pecorino. The red rind and the mini 350 g format make it unique and instantly recognisable. It is ideal for those who prefer a less intense pecorino with a strong territorial identity.
How long does it keep after delivery? Best before 120 days from the packaging date. Store vacuum-packed and unopened in the refrigerator at 2-4°C. Once opened, wrap in greaseproof paper or cling film and consume within 10-15 days.
Does it work well as a gift or on a cheese board? Absolutely - the mini 350 g format with its distinctive red rind makes it one of the most appreciated products in Tuscan gift hampers and gourmet gift sets. Contact us for personalised gift packaging.
