The Pecorino Toscano PDO Protection Consortium aims to protect the PDO label and to promote the product, both in Italy and abroad.
The Pecorino Toscano PDO, be it fresh or ripened, is a sweet product, not pungent, low-salt and, when ripened, naturally lactose-free.
In the area of origin, laid down in the product specification, sheep's milk is produced and processed into Pecorino Toscano.
The product is then ripened until it reaches maturity, at least 20 days for fresh cheese and 4 months for ripened cheese.
Cheese wheels are selected one by one and the mark of origin is applied to each of them
