This is the classic "cacio", a typically Tuscan sheep's cheese. It is made with milk that is collected from flocks grazing in the fields of Val d'Orcia and Pienza. It is produced using elaborate traditional methods that date back to Roman times and that have been handed down through the generations. Its rind is characteristically red, a colour achieved with the use of tomatoes during the production process, and it matures for a minimum of three months before consumption.
