Pecorino di Pienza Rosso is a typical cheese from Tuscany made with pasteurized sheep's milk from herds of the Val d'Orcia. It takes its name from the ancient Renaissance town of Pienza, in the province of Siena, created by Pope Pius II. Around the senese clay hills, the pastures are poor but ideal for sheep. The red version is special because it has a longer aging period, about 2 months, but especially because it is colored with tomato juice, which adds a much richer flavor with a nice sweet and slightly spicy component.
