Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane

Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane is a registered DOP cheese. Its specification requires raw whole sheep's milk from flocks in the geographical area and vegetable rennet. It has four forms: fresh (7 to 44 days), semi-mature (45 days to 6 months), mature (6 to 12 months), and extra-mature (over 12 months). It should not be represented as one uniformly hard, lamb-rennet cheese with a 60-day minimum.

The DOP production rule requires animal farming, cheese production, and maturation to take place within the specified production area. Check the individual product label for the named maturation form and current product information.

Pecorino delle Balze Volterrane is a registered protected product. Its legal identity should remain distinct from generic pecorino or unverified local-food claims.
