Description: Produced by Romaniae Terrae, Pecorino Ortica is an Italian cheese made with raw sheep's milk. It is a slightly straw-colored with a silky mouthfeel, intense flavor and aroma and somewhat piquant. The cheese wheels are covered with nettle leaves and then left to mature in virgin fir crates for over 90 days. This unique maturation process gives the cheese a unique scent and flavor and also maintains its softness.
