Bastelicacciu Rafini

Bastelicacciu Rafini is a traditional cheese that’s produced in Sari-d’Orcino, Corsica. The cheese is made from raw sheep’s milk and it’s usually left to age for at least 2 months before consumption. Underneath its bloomy rind, the texture is soft, dense, supple, and slightly runny.

The aromas are reminiscent of milk and hay, while the flavors are creamy, fresh, and milky. As the cheese ages, the flavors become even more pronounced. Bastelicacciu Rafini is made by a man called Cédric Rafini, hence the name of the cheese.
