Cacio di Venere is a premium, aged pecorino cheese produced by Caseificio Il Fiorino. This unique cheese combines the delicate flavor of organic Maremma sheep's milk with the earthy aroma of Tuscany's white truffle, sourced by Stefania Calugi. The result is a rich and intense flavor profile, with the creamy sheep's milk balanced by the distinctive taste of truffle.


The cheese is aged for around 10 months in the natural caves of Fiorini, where it develops its smooth, amber paste and brownish rind. Its flavor is a perfect blend of the mild, fresh notes of the sheep's milk and the deep, aromatic qualities of the truffle.
