## Description

Canestrato, Made from sheep's milk, The outside of this cheese is weaved from the basket it's aged in. This is one of the strongest Romano cheeses and is most popular among the Sicilian Italian from which it is made. Grate this cheese on your Southern Italian recipes it's fantastic! Pairs well with Chianti and Merlot. Very hard to find and very delicious!

Review: Princely cheese. Just wonderful. - My best description: Like a sliceable parmagiano If you have wished that you could take a slice from a block of parmagiano and just enjoy a bite, try this cheese. Please experts excuse my spelling of the above mentioned very lovely cheese. This cheese is like it, except for being medium soft and a bit more aristocratic and polite. This sheep milk cheese is the most stand-alone cheese which I have ever tried. This not a cheese which will have you reaching for the mustard and mayo, just to make something edible with it. It would be kind of a shame, to slather condiments all over it. The flavor is so lovely. This is an expensive item. I highly recommend the 3 pound block of this sheep milk cheese, as a once-per-year purchase.
Review: Mild flavor - Fresh pecorino with mild flavor. Pleasant
