Description: Barricato al Pepe is pasteurized cow’s milk cheese made by Sergio, the famed producer of Sottocenere®. The wheels are aged for 3 months before being coated with peppercorns. It is then further aged into wine barrels, giving an excellent crumbly, delicate-flavored end product. The black peppercorns add a taste without overwhelming the buttery paste. Barricato al Pepe pairs perfectly with an off-dry Gewurtztraminer or Riesling, or a brawny Zin.
