This pepper crust pecorino, also called Pecorino "canestrato" according to Sicilian tradition, does not have the addition of black peppercorns in the paste, but only the crust coating with crushed black pepper. A different process that allows the cheese to be flavored, while protecting it at the same time, avoiding the "inconvenience," of having to remove the peppercorns at the time of consumption.
Well known as a grating cheese (a fundamental ingredient in all the first courses of traditional Roman cuisine), however, it is also excellent for a cheese board.

When great-grandfather Luigi Guffanti began aging Gorgonzola in 1876, his genius intuition was the purchase of an abandoned silver mine in Valganna, in the province of Varese. Five generations have passed, the attention to the artisanal quality of the cheese product and the passion for careful ripening continue to characterize the Guffanti-Fiori family, consolidated to this day as one of the best ripeners in the world.
