Strong aged sheep's cheese, made from sheep's milk and cured for a long period to achieve an intense, slightly peppery flavour, a world away from a young cheese. Its paste is firm, almost crumbly in places, with the small tyrosine crystals typical of well-aged cheeses, a sign of a long, careful maturation. It is a cheese for those who already enjoy strong flavours and want to go a step beyond standard cured cheese. Serve it in wedges or thin shavings at room temperature; it pairs very well with full-bodied red wines or a good dessert wine to contrast its intensity. Keep it in the fridge, well wrapped so it neither loses moisture nor passes its aroma on to other foods.
