If you are looking for where to buy Tuscan Pecorino in Florence, at VINO AL VINO we offer a carefully selected range of artisan sheep’s milk cheeses, with a particular focus on Pecorino di Pienza.
We believe that buying cheese in Tuscany should be about more than picking up a generic vacuum-packed product from a tourist shop. Just as we personally select the wines we sell, we look for cheeses with character, traditional production and a strong connection to their place of origin.
Our selection ranges from delicate fresh Pecorino and Primosale to semi-aged and mature cheeses, alongside more distinctive specialities such as Pecorino with truffle, aged under walnut leaves, refined with grape marc and Pecorino di Fossa.
Our cheeses can be cut into portions and vacuum-packed, making them particularly convenient for visitors who want to take authentic Tuscan cheese home.
Pienza and the surrounding Val d’Orcia are among Tuscany’s most celebrated areas for sheep’s milk cheese.
For this reason, Pecorino di Pienza is at the heart of our cheese selection.
The landscape of the Val d’Orcia has a long pastoral tradition, and Pecorino has become one of the area’s most recognisable gastronomic products.
At VINO AL VINO, we select different styles and maturations so that our customers can discover how dramatically sheep’s milk cheese can change according to ageing and refinement.
There is no single style of Tuscan Pecorino.
Our selection includes fresh, semi-aged and aged Pecorino, offering very different textures and flavours.
Fresh Pecorino is soft, delicate and milky, with the freshness of sheep’s milk still clearly perceptible.
Semi-aged Pecorino develops greater structure while retaining a relatively supple texture.
Aged Pecorino becomes firmer, more concentrated and increasingly complex, making it particularly interesting to eat on its own or pair with structured Tuscan wines.
We also offer Primosale, a young and delicate expression ideal for those who prefer softer, fresher cheeses.
Beyond classic Pecorino, we are particularly interested in traditional and creative methods of ageing and refinement.
Depending on availability, our selection can include:
These styles make it possible to explore Pecorino beyond the classic version and discover how ageing and refinement can transform the aromatic character of sheep’s milk cheese.
Many of our customers are visiting Florence and want to bring authentic Italian food home.
For this reason, our Pecorino can be portioned and vacuum-packed.
You can choose the cheese and quantity you prefer, and our staff can help you select different styles according to your taste.
This makes Pecorino one of the most interesting Tuscan food souvenirs to buy in Florence, whether you are buying it for yourself or as a gift.
International travellers should always check the current dairy import regulations of their destination before travelling.
Not sure whether you prefer fresh, semi-aged or mature Pecorino?
At VINO AL VINO, selected cheeses can also be discovered through tastings accompanied by Tuscan and Italian wine.
This gives you an opportunity to taste Pecorino, understand the differences between styles and receive advice from our staff before choosing what you would like to purchase.
Wine is a natural partner for Tuscan Pecorino, and our experience as a specialist wine shop allows us to suggest different pairings according to the cheese.
Taste it, choose it and take your favourite Pecorino home.
VINO AL VINO has become a reference point in Florence for travellers looking for carefully selected Tuscan wine and artisan food, and Pecorino is an important part of that selection.
Rather than offering just one standard cheese, we aim to show the diversity of Tuscan Pecorino through different origins, maturations and refinements.
From Pecorino di Pienza and Primosale to aged, truffle, walnut-leaf, grape-marc and Fossa cheeses, our selection is designed for people who want to discover something genuinely different.
