Tumino Francesco

Ragusano DOP

Tumino Francesco crafts Ragusano DOP, the iconic stretched-curd cheese that defines southeastern Sicily's dairy heritage. Hand-molded into its distinctive parallelepiped blocks—each weighing 12–16 kilograms—his wheels develop a golden rind that deepens with age. Working within the 15-municipality production zone, Tumino sources raw milk to preserve the mineral complexity and subtle grazing notes that make Ragusano Sicily's most rigorous cheese standard.
