Guttus cheese from the Antica Fattoria La Parrina
Among the typical products of the Maremma, La Parrina's Guttus cheese stands out for its quality and unique taste. La Parrina is one of the oldest and most prestigious farms in Maremma, located a few kilometres from Capalbio, famous for its production of artisanal cheeses. Guttus is a soft cheese, made from sheep's milk and matured to obtain a creamy texture and a strong flavour.
The production process of this sheep's gorgonzola follows traditional methods that enhance the quality of the raw materials. The milk used comes from sheep raised on the estate, which feed on natural pastures, giving the cheese distinctive organoleptic characteristics. Guttus can be enjoyed on its own, accompanied by a good Tuscan red wine or used in various culinary preparations to enhance excellent first courses.
