Sifor Pecorino with Walnuts Wedge, 14 oz [Pack of 3]

Sifor Pecorino with Walnuts: A Nutty Mediterranean Harmony

Discover the rustic elegance of the Sicilian countryside with Sifor Pecorino with Walnuts. This artisan "Primo Sale" style cheese is a masterful blend of creamy, young sheep’s milk and the earthy, toasted crunch of premium walnut halves. It is a cheese designed for those who appreciate a play of textures—the yielding softness of the curd meeting the firm snap of the nut.

The Sensory Experience

By infusing the walnuts directly into the curd during the molding process, Sifor ensures that the oils from the nuts permeate the cheese, creating a unified flavor profile rather than just a simple topping.

• The Texture: The paste is white, supple, and moist, providing a beautiful contrast to the chunky, crisp walnut pieces found in every slice.
• The Aroma: Sweet and lactic, with a distinct back-note of toasted wood and forest floor.
• The Flavor: A delicate dance of sweet and savory. The buttery mildness of the fresh Pecorino perfectly balances the slightly bitter, tannins of the walnut skins, finishing with a rich, nutty aftertaste.

Serving Suggestions

The 14 oz. wedge is the ideal size for a family dinner or a weekend gathering. Its "built-in" crunch makes it an effortless addition to any culinary presentation.

• The Cheese Board: Pair with slices of crisp green apple or juicy Bosc pears. The acidity of the fruit highlights the richness of the walnuts.
• A Gourmet Salad: Crumble the wedge over an arugula and roasted beet salad. The walnuts in the cheese mean you have one less ingredient to prep!
• The Drizzle: Enhance the earthiness with a touch of chestnut honey or a high-quality balsamic glaze.
• The Drink: This cheese shines alongside a medium-bodied white wine like a Sicilian Inzolia or a light, fruity red like Valpolicella.

Technical Profile

Artisan Tip: Because walnuts contain natural oils, we recommend keeping this wedge tightly wrapped in parchment paper to maintain its fresh, toasted flavor.
