How to Store Pecorino di Pienza with Chilli Pepper
To preserve the freshness of Pecorino di Pienza with Chilli Pepper, it is sold vacuum-packed.

If you need to refrigerate the cheese, store it in the least cold part of the fridge to maintain the best quality. It’s also recommended to wrap the cheese in a breathable material, such as a cotton cloth, rather than using plastic film, as this allows the cheese to retain its texture and flavour while preventing moisture build-up. Before consuming, always check the appearance and smell of the cheese to ensure its freshness and quality.
