Pecorino Veneto cheese
Pecorino Veneto is a ewes' milk cheese from the lower provinces of Padova and Pegolotte in the Veneto region of Italy. It has the following characteristics:
Height 8 cm; diameter 22 cm; weight 2-2.5 kg
Shape: cylindrical
Rind: thin and fairly hard
Interior: firm, white to straw-yellow in colour, according to the season.
Flavour: mild, distinctive, not strong.
Before pasteurization, the milk is heated to around 37 °C, adding freeze-dried milk enzymes and powdered or liquid calf rennet. Coagulation occurs in 20 minutes. After the curds have been broken (into pieces the size of grains of corn), they can either be heated or not, depending on the desired texture and duration of ageing. The curds are then placed into moulds and pressed for 1-2 hours at a temperature of 36-38 °C. The cheese matures in 20-30 days or at least 60 days if cooked.
