Pecorino Il Fiorino (Riserva del Fondatore)

Pecorino Il Fiorino (Ris. Del Fondatore) is a highly-awarded, hard, aged sheep's milk cheese from the Maremma region in Tuscany, Italy, made by Caseificio Il Fiorino. The name "Riserva del Fondatore" means "Founder's Reserve," and it is a tribute to the dairy's founder, Duilio Fiorini. The cheese is aged for a significant period in both cells and a natural cave, giving it a firm, crumbly texture and a complex flavor profile with notes of dried fruit and a strong sweet finish.
