Riserva del Fondatore Caseificio Il Fiorino: A Tuscan Cheese Masterpiece

The Riserva del Fondatore by Caseificio Il Fiorino is a true artisan masterpiece, a Pecorino that embodies the most authentic soul of the Maremma region. This extraordinary cheese is the result of meticulous selection and obsessive care in every step of production, ensuring a tasting experience that is second to none.

Tasting Notes

On the palate, the Riserva del Fondatore reveals a complex and elegant profile. It is characterized by intense vegetable notes enriched with subtle fruity undertones. The taste is ample and well-rounded, featuring distinctive hints of dried fruit and a defined sweet tendency that caresses the palate. The paste is compact and firm to the touch, yet it becomes incredibly soluble upon tasting, leaving a long and satisfying finish.

Caseificio Il Fiorino, the Tradition of the Maremma

Caseificio Il Fiorino is located in a place of extraordinary charm and historical value, within the medieval village of Roccalbegna on the slopes of Mount Amiata. Our production philosophy is built on an unbreakable bond with the territory.

Every wheel is born from a rigorous analysis of the milk. We select only the highest quality raw materials, prioritizing excellence regardless of yield.
