Description

Canestrato al Pepe is an Italian semi-hard sheep’s milk cheese with whole black peppercorns.

It has a dense texture and a characteristic pattern on the surface of the cheese, created by the wicker molds in which the cheese is shaped. It has a rich, savory taste with a pleasant sharpness.

The cheese is perfect for a cheese platter and light snacks. It is also used grated in pasta, risotto, and casseroles. Rich white wines and light red wines, such as Chianti or Vermentino, pair well with the cheese.
