Caseificio Storico Amatrice - F.lli Petrucci S.r.l.

Pecorino Riserva is one of the most prestigious products of our production line, it is an excellent pecorino made thanks to a careful selection of milk coming exclusively from flocks that graze in the heights of the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park and like all our products are processed no later than 24 hours from the milking. Riserva is a pecorino produced according to the ancient recipe of the Amatrice’s ancient shepherds living in the territory of the Monti della Laga. In this pecorino we find the aroma of the pastures that have fed the animal, the imprint of the territory, the “brand” of the expertise of the dairyman. The environment, the territory, the pure air are formidable tools to carry out the maturing refinement that becomes optimal at 6/7 months. Thanks
to the balanced mixture of enzymes means, this pecorino has a cooked and friable straw-yellow paste with light holes. Externally it has a brown bark colored crust given by the aturing that still takes place, as usual, on wooden boards and by the treatment with oil and vinegar of the external surface.
