Located in: Cheese, Italy

From Calabria in southern Italy comes Crotonese, a pure sheep's milk cheese made in four pound wheels. Crotonese is produced between the months of January and June when sheep's milk is the best and most abundant. Crotonese has that famous pecorino flavor and is both sweet and salty. Like most ewe's milk varieties, its surface is a bit oily due to the natural oils in the milk. Formed in woven molds, the rind takes on a ribbed pattern that makes a nice presentation. Excellent as a snacking cheese, Crotonese is an excellent partner for Brunello wine.

Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

Comments about Crotonese:

I like flavorful cheese that you enjoy in small amounts and this fits the bill. Wonderful flavor even when sliced thin. I prefer sheep's milk cheeses and this is a great one to try. Will definitely purchase again!!
