Riserva del Fondatore is a cheese crafted with passion and expertise as a tribute to the company’s founder, Duilio Fiorini. This award-winning Pecorino is produced using ancient cheese-making traditions and is aged in a natural cave in Roccalbegna, Tuscany.


The result is a firm, compact cheese that slowly melts in your mouth, offering a complex bouquet of flavors with notes of dried fruit and a sweet finish. Perfect for special occasions, this cheese is celebrated for its intense, long-lasting flavor and is highly regarded internationally, winning numerous gold and super gold medals at prestigious cheese awards.


It pairs beautifully with Champagne, sparkling wines, or a well-crafted beer. Enjoy it on its own or accompanied by honey, fig jam, or dried fruits.
