Sheep’s cheese aged in the “chaff” of Piedmontese hazelnuts.
What is the chaff? First of all, a specific one on hazelnuts, as it is the “Tonda gentile delle Langhe” also known as Piedmont Hazelnuts PGI. The “chaff” is the waste from the sieve after roasting and grinding the hazelnuts to obtain the hazelnut paste, this waste is larger pieces of hazelnuts and the perisperma or the thin brown film that covers the hazelnut, as well as the essential oil of hazelnut.
This ingredient, which for us is certainly not a waste, used to refine the crust of our little pecorino, therefore called “Scoiattolino”, as we know that squirrels are greedy for walnuts and hazelnuts.
The result is a cheese with a balanced taste given the harmonization obtained of the ingredient added with the cheese. The rind is edible and appreciable.

Produced with pure sheep's milk, defined as raw paste, it is a second refinement, aged for about 45/60 days, it is young and delicate, suitable for consumption on any occasion, from the plate of appetizers to the platter of cured meats or in a plateau of cheeses.

Produced with pure raw sheep's milk, matured for about 120 days or more, and thanks to time it acquires its particularly complexity but at the same time delicate and sweet.

This Pecorino was aged for over six months in the cells of the Corzano e Paterno.
This cheese is produced all year. It is made at a low temperature to preserve the aroma and flavor of fresh milk. The curd is cut into small pieces, stirred for ten minutes, and then poured into perforated plastic molds. Is then put in a warm steam oven for several hours until it is nice and compact. During this time the whey seeps out and is collected to be transformed into ricotta. The next day it is salted in a brine solution for 24 hours and then shelved in a cold cellar at 12°C. It is ready to eat from one month onwards. 
Following a Tuscan tradition in May, pecorino must be eaten with fava beans or combined with a fresh pear.
