Publication note
Published as a product profile: validated sources do not fully document ingredients and/or method details.
What it is
Hard, fat sheep cheese from Bagnolese sheep, eaten fresh, after two to three months, or aged five to six months for grating.
Origin place card
Bagnoli Irpino — Avellino. Use a territory-level page unless later fieldwork proves a narrower comune-only origin.
Verified history
Historical depth remains limited; the direct-read source supports identity/core product description but not deeper archival history.
Ingredients
Ingredients not fully documented in validated sources.
Method
Method/process not fully documented in validated sources.
Why travel for it
Bagnoli Irpino becomes more than truffle country: this is the sheep milk layer under it.
Recreate-it pathway
Do not invent a home recipe. Build a future tested/kitchen note from producer interviews, safe temperatures, maturation limits and modern hygiene rules; for now publish source-backed process only.
Fieldwork questions
Ask about roasted fresh slices and pairings with fruit/honey.
