The standard-bearer of Rocca Toscana Formaggi's classic range — a pecorino made simply and well, without addition or embellishment. The aged paste is hard and granular, persistent in flavour but naturally sweet and palatable, with sheepy, nutty, and grassy notes that are unmistakably Tuscan.

Rocca Toscana Formaggi is based in Arezzo, in the heart of Tuscany, where the family has been making pecorino for generations. The word Vessillo means flag a standard, a symbol of belonging. It is the name they give to the cheese that represents what they do when nothing else is asked of the sheep's milk except that it be good.

Best at room temperature to let the flavour open up. On a cheese board with fresh pears and chestnut honey, or grated over pasta. The rind is not edible. Once cut, wrap and keep refrigerated.
