Description
The ultimate wine pairing for your Busti's 1955 Pecorino. It's the pinnacle of quality in the company's production, a cheese that requires time, patience, and artisanal mastery. Aged for a minimum of 18 months, Busti's 1955 Pecorino develops a unique aromatic complexity and structure, with a natural, balanced sweetness that accompanies the tasting experience from the very first bite. The cheese has a pale straw yellow color, while its texture is soluble and melting, slowly melting in the mouth, providing a smooth and harmonious sensation.
Only 3 of these wheels of cheese are in Canada, and 1 just happens to be in Toronto! You can join us for the cutting of the wheel with the makers of the cheese at Cheese Boutique (45 Ripley Ave) on April 18th!
