Corsu Vecchiu is a traditional semi-firm unpasteurised sheep milk cheese from the island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea.
Corsu Vecchiu is aged between 6 to 9 months. The cheese has a washed rind that
is light grey with golden overtones and the ivory colored uncooked pâte has a
dense texture with a few holes.
Its flavour is rich, buttery,
nutty and somewhat sweet with a subtle saltiness that comes through at the end.
Corsu Vecchiu pairs well with
dried apricots and Pinot Noir wine.
Most of Corsica has a
Mediterranean climate but in the mountains it has a colder Alpine climate. The
mixed climate, varied terrain, robust vegetation and semi-wild sheep are ideal
ingredients for a rich variety of cheeses. I recommend you try Fleur
Du Maquis another
excellent sheep-milk cheese from Corsica.
