The tasting order

Remove the cheeses from the refrigerator half an hour before serving and serve them from the mildest to the most intense: start with the caciotta, move on to the marzolino and cheese with pepper, then to the two Pecorino Toscano DOP, and finish with the Pecorino del Noce and Marzolino Imperatore. The cheese with chili pepper provides a contrast, with a drizzle of acacia honey or extra virgin olive oil on unsalted bread.

Aged pecorinos pair well with chestnut honey, while the milder ones go well with acacia honey; mostards, such as pear mostarda, complement the marzolino and young pecorinos. In the glass: Vernaccia di San Gimignano for the caciotta and semi-aged cheeses, and a structured red wine such as Vino Nobile di Montepulciano for the aged pecorinos.

Storage

Refrigerate immediately upon arrival; as long as they are vacuum-packed, the date on the label is valid. Once opened, wrap them in food-grade paper and consume the fresh cheeses such as the caciotta first, then the aged pecorinos.
