Pecorino Frescoverde  with Vegetable Rennet

Frescoverde is a very fresh and tasty pecorino cheese with a soft and elastic texture. It is treated on the surface with extra virgin olive oil and a mix of selected Mediterranean aromatic herbs: rosemary, mint, sage, savory, basil and coriander. The use of vegetable rennet, extracted from the flowers of the thistle (Cynara cardunculus), gives it a sweet, slightly acidic taste that goes well with the milky flavour of the paste. The edible rind is a further strength of this pecorino, which is particularly appreciated by those who follow a vegetarian diet.
