Caseificio Aquilaia

Caseificio Aquilaia operates in Arcidosso, on the Amiata slopes of the Grosseto province, producing a single cheese: Pecorino Toscano DOP, made from sheep's milk sourced from the protected area spanning 286 Tuscan municipalities. From this sheep's milk base, the dairy creates a full spectrum of expressions, united by the same denomination but distinct in character. The cheeses range from soft, young versions with a creamy texture to semi-hard and aged ones, where time adds depth and a more pronounced complexity. Each type reflects both the terroir of the milk and the control exercised over fermentation and aging, two levers that the producer carefully manages to avoid flattening differences. The result is a Pecorino that changes its character with aging while remaining true to its Amiata origin: a unique product within its denomination, yet manifold in its stages. Those who taste it discern, in the same paste, the freshness of young pasture and the concentration that only months can build.
