Azienda Agricola Maiorano

Azienda Agricola Maiorano operates within the designated area for Pecorino Crotonese DOP, where sheep farming fuels Calabria's oldest cheesemaking tradition. The denomination encompasses fifty-two municipalities, and within this perimeter, local milk is transformed into hard, semi-cooked cheeses that bear the characteristic imprint of the basket used in their production on their rind. Maiorano's repertoire follows the entire aging process: from fresh cheese to wheels matured for six months, each stage yielding a different profile of texture and taste. It's a way of understanding cheese as a progression, not a single product: the fresh tells of the pasture, the aged tells of time. In this Calabrian cheesemaking landscape, the denomination serves as a common framework, while the producer's hand decides when to halt maturation. The result is a range that covers the entire spectrum from freshly curdled milk to the fully developed cheese wheel.
