Jersey Pecorino

Bring a Taste of Regional Excellence to Your Table

Experience traditional Italian craftsmanship, made right here in Victoria from our 90-year-old Italian cheesemaker, passed down from his father and then passed onto his grandson. This premium selection of hard and semi-hard Italian-style cheeses from Gippsland Jersey is crafted using the highest quality Jersery milk, sourced right here in Gippsland.
