Publication note
Published as a product profile: validated sources do not fully document ingredients and/or method details.
What it is
Artisanal pecorino from sheep pastured in the Carmasciano/Mefite area, sliceable or grateable depending on ageing.
Origin place card
Carmasciano between Rocca San Felice and Guardia Lombardi — 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
A cheese page that sends readers to the Mefite: fumes, pasture, Virgil, and a pecorino with landscape in 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
Separate geological fact, local sensory belief and Virgilian literary memory.
