Chilled Piccola Giara d’Ulivo is a matured sheep’s milk cheese from Italy, produced under the Chrono Food brand. Made from pasteurised ovine milk and refined with olive leaves, it is presented as a whole unit of approximately 1.4kg and sold by weight. This cheese is kept chilled to preserve its structure and quality.

Detailed Information

This pecorino-style cheese is aged in traditional jars (“giara”) with olive branches, a method that contributes to its distinctive aromatic profile. The use of pasteurised sheep’s milk, lactic ferments, rennet, and salt ensures consistency, while the olive leaf maturation imparts subtle herbal notes.
It has a firm, compact texture typical of aged sheep’s milk cheeses, with a pronounced, savory flavor. The rind reflects the maturation process, and the interior remains dense with a pale, uniform appearance.
