Pecorino la Brinata is a fresh cheese of pure sheeps' milk. The surface of the edible rind is crusted with a delicate white mould, resembling felt, which makes the fresh cheese even softer and tastier by favouring the growth of typical microflora. The production process is quite complex because, only a correct balance between humidity and temperature during aging can ensure uniform moulding of the rind. This cheese is best eaten with its rind.
