Criscione Raffaele

Ragusa · Province of Ragusa · Sicilia

Ragusano DOP

Criscione Raffaele operates in the Ragusa province, at the heart of Sicily's cheese-making territory. The producer crafts Ragusano DOP, a stretched-curd cheese from raw milk that achieves 12–16 kilograms per form—a substantial block requiring precise technique and patience. Ragusano's golden to straw-yellow rind marks months of careful aging, developing the nutty, complex notes that define this protected origin spanning fifteen municipalities across southeastern Sicily.
