De'Magi Pecorino Giovane
Pecorino Giovane comes from De'Magi in Castiglion Fiorentino, in the heart of Tuscany. This is a young sheep's milk cheese, aged about 30 days, that shows what pecorino tastes like before the salt and crystals take over.
The paste is semi-soft and supple, pale ivory under a thin edible rind that takes on a little pale-yellow color as it sits. On the palate it leads with fresh cream and sweet sheep's milk, then opens into soft notes of butter and fresh-cut grass, with a clean, short finish. There's none of the piccante bite of an aged pecorino here, just gentle, milky character that makes it easy to like.
It's also one of those cheeses that earns its keep in the kitchen. The paste melts beautifully, so it slips into a risotto or a fresh pasta the way a young pecorino should, lending body and a quiet sweetness without overpowering the dish. On a board it sits right next to pears, walnuts, and a drizzle of honey and holds its own.
