Pears
Pears
Even if you are not a farmer try it thinly sliced with pears and you will immediately remember a funny scarecrow.
Nuts
Nuts
Cut the cheese into small pieces toss them in your mouth and alternate with some nuts. Prepare a bowl of each and sit back and relax to watch your favourite TV series. With a little practice you can do it without looking and have an enjoyable moment. If it’s not nuts then choose the dried fruit you like best.
dry figs
dry figs
If you find yourself in Calabria, remember that the match with dry figs is the best. Be like me, take a nice stroll and go and steal some figs from a tree. When you arrive home place, just put a small piece of this southern fruit on a slice of pecorino.
honey
honey
Take a jar from the pantry, place a slice of pecorino on your plate, dip a teaspoon into the jar of honey and drizzle slowly from above to make a true delicacy.
Jams
Jams
As an appetizer or preparing a good continental breakfast, take a slice of Crotonese pecorino cheese and dress it elegantly with a sweet jam, which must contrast with the slightly spicy taste of aged crotonese pecorino.
ham
ham
Pecorino calls for cured meats and these respond well. Here you can indulge yourself and prepare a nice cutting board, and if you are looking for something simple and quick just place the Crotonese pecorino on a plate of raw ham.And if you prefer the original Calabrian taste use the best Capicollo or bacon.
BASIL
BASIL
With BASIL, it becomes a Crotonese pesto. It is not a variation because the original recipe existed before the Parmesan chees version, the pecorino with basil, pine nuts and extra virgin olive oil. What are you waiting for....hurry into the kitchen.
sandwich
sandwich
You are in the grocery store...the weather is nice, you are thinking about a nice sandwich, forget the usual combinations and try one with Crotonese pecorino and raw ham, mushrooms in oil or even with bresaola or a sweet salami. Have a good bite and enjoy!
Jam
Jam
Take some good jam, either orange or lemon, you ask yourself why? Well the answer is they perfectly match with the sweet taste of freshly made cheese.
salad
salad
And it works when nice thick slices are cut into chunks and added to a nice rich colorful SALAD But you don't use normal vinegar..it must be balsamic from Modena, even an aged glazed one if you prefer a more harmonious and sweeter taste. If you want to convince a vegetarian you can be sure that this will win him over and he won't refuse. If on the other hand he is a vegan, I'm sorry we have all got our problems.
grill
grill
Be a Spartan, be masculine, be testeronic.be a fairy,or a witch...a woman with courage take the Crotonese pecorino and place it roughly on the grill and MELT it, at the end of the cooking drizzle some oil over it and, if you like, several drops of lemon juice.
Sardella
Sardella
For the scent of the sea in a pairing that tastes of Calabria, take a knife and spread on a slice of cheese from the excellent SARDELLA. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of the sea and the sound of the wind blowing from over the green hills. Don't fall asleep.It is said that if you sleep you won't catch a fish.
