Italian cheese From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calcagno is an Italian type of pecorino cheese prepared using raw sheep's milk and peppercorns.[1][2][3] It is a hard cheese that can be grated.[4] In its preparation, peppercorns are added to the curd, the mixture is drained in baskets, salt is added, and the mix is aged for at least three months.[1] As the cheese ages, it becomes grainier in texture, and its flavor becomes spicier, pungent and saltier.[1] Calcagno originated in Sardinia, and is prepared in Sardinia and Sicily.[1][2] It is sometimes aged for up to ten months.[1]
