Pecorino Bagnolese d'Irpinia

The cheese produced bears the "PECORINO BAGNOLESE D’IRPINIA" trademark which was created as a guarantee mark for the pecorino cheese of the same name and is issued by the association to qualified producers and is affixed to every single cheese wheel. Here are the processing stages of Pecorino Bagnolese:

Milking

The milk chosen for the production of Pecorino Bagnolese comes from flocks raised in the wild on natural pastures. Milking is done manually and the milk must be processed within 24 hours of the first milking. Fresh sheep's milk is then transferred to processing centers in refrigerated tanks or steel tanks.

Warm up

Once at the dairy, the raw milk, after suitable filtering, is progressively heated in the boilers until it reaches a temperature ranging from 36 to 38 ° C.

When the milk reaches these temperature values, the lamb rennet is added, and after 25 - 35 minutes the milk is transformed into curd.

The curd

After the curd has formed, the latter is broken using a wooden ladle until you get lumps similar in size to grains of rice. The curd is left to rest for a few minutes, after which the mass is extracted and then inserted into the molds, special mesh containers with a characteristic shape. The next phase is the pressing, done strictly by hand and which allows the whey to come out.

Seasoning

The pasta obtained is divided into blocks, placed in special resin molds for food for the maturation treatment in special hot / humid rooms in order to facilitate the acidification of the pasta. The wheels are sent to the "salting", then each wheel is sprinkled with coarse salt for 24 hours on the side, after the two days of salting the "first salt" is obtained, the wheel is still left to drain from the excess whey for a few days , the now well dried form begins to mature on wooden boards where it will pass for a minimum of 3 months for a good result. During the aging the Pecorino is turned and cleaned from time to time.

The ricotta

For the production of ricotta, the whey from the previous processing is recovered and heated in the boilers until it reaches a temperature of 60 ° C. Then we proceed with the addition of raw milk and the raising of the temperature up to 83 ° C. Then we proceed with the extraction of the mass and the subsequent insertion into the molds. The ricotta is ready ...

Pecorino Bagnolese from Irpinia

The cheese produced bears the "PECORINO BAGNOLESE D’IRPINIA" trademark, which is established as a guarantee mark for the Pecorino cheese of the same name. This mark is issued by the association to qualified producers and is affixed to each individual cheese wheel. Here are the stages of the Pecorino Bagnolese production:

Milking

The milk selected for the production of Pecorino Bagnolese comes from flocks raised freely on natural pastures. The milking is done manually, and the milk must be processed within 24 hours of the first milking. The fresh sheep's milk is then transferred to processing centers in refrigerated tanks or steel containers.

Heating

Upon arrival at the dairy, the raw milk, after proper filtration, is gradually heated in vats until it reaches a temperature ranging from 36 to 38°C. When the milk reaches these temperature values, lamb rennet is added, and after 25-35 minutes, the milk has transformed into curds.

Curds

Once the curd has formed, it is broken down using a wooden ladle until it forms curd pieces similar in size to grains of rice. The curd is allowed to rest for a few minutes, after which the mass is extracted and placed in special net containers with a characteristic shape.

The next step is pressing, done strictly by hand, allowing the whey to drain.

Aging

The obtained curd is divided into blocks, placed in special food-grade resin molds for the aging process in specific warm and humid rooms to promote acidification of the curd.

The cheese wheels are then initiated into the "salting" process, where each wheel is coated with coarse salt for 24 hours on each side. After two days of salting, the "first salting" is achieved, and the cheese wheels are left to drain any excess whey for several days. The now well-dried cheese wheels are placed on wooden boards for a minimum of 3 months of aging to achieve a good result. During the aging process, the Pecorino cheese is periodically turned and cleaned.

Ricotta Cheese

For the production of ricotta, the whey from the previous process is recovered and heated in vats until it reaches a temperature of 60°C. Then, raw milk is added, and the temperature is raised to 83°C. Afterward, the curd is extracted and placed in net containers. The ricotta is now ready...
