DESCRIPTION
EXPERIENCE BOX – STANDARD
- Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil (500ml): cold-pressed within 24 hours from harvesting, this EV Olive Oil has the particularity of being produced very early in the year, guaranteeing a much higher quality – detectable in its ultra-low acidity (<0.1%), superior fragrancy, with distinctive hints of artichoke, freshly cut grass and a light “spiciness”.
- Cured Capocollo with Pepper (800g): aged for 3 months, this cured meat is seasoned with pepper and fennel, according to the tradition of the area around Siena, for a remarkable but balanced taste on the palate.
- Truffle Salami (400g): a delicious and aromatic artisanal salami enriched with authentic, local truffles. This high quality product expertly combines the Tuscan charcuterie tradition with the unique and refined taste of the truffle.
- Pecorino di Pienza Gran Riserva (600g): the flagship of Caseificio Cugusi, this Pecorino is aged for 18 months and hand-pressed by expert cheesemakers. Awarded Super Gold at the World Cheese Awards, it ranks among the 84 best cheeses in the world.
- Pecorino di Pienza with Truffle (600g): soft and aromatic, this pecorino is enriched with flakes of black and white truffle. Aged up to 90 days, it’s perfect for melting on crostoni, in sauces, or as a refined table cheese.
- Pecorino di Fossa (600g): after three months of aging, the wheels are buried in natural tufa pits in Sogliano for 90 days. This fermentation gives the cheese its irregular shape, crumbly texture, and bold, piquant flavour.
- Viola – Belgian Strong Ale (750ml): an award-winning warm and enveloping artisanal beer, delicately citrus, with an almost imperceptible bitterness.
- Giulia – American IPA (750ml): a full bodied, artisanal beer with notes of caramel malt and tropical fruit, with a bitter but well-balanced finish.
- Agresto delle Crete condiment (100ml): censored as a P.A.T. product (typical agri-food product), Agresto is an ancient, versatile condiment (widely used in Mediaeval dishes) obtained from the pressing of unripe grapes and flavoured with mixtures of different aromatic herbs. It’s an antique preparation, made with techniques that are often forgotten and traced with great effort in fragments of texts from ancient times.
