Description

Ricotta Scorza Nera – Cave-Aged Sheep’s Milk Ricotta (Approx. 100 Days Aged) Aged deep in the natural caves of Abruzzo, Ricotta Scorza Nera is one of Italy’s rarest and most complex aged ricottas. Made from the whey of our Sopravvissana sheep and aged for over 100 days, it develops a striking natural black rind formed by native cave molds. This organic ricotta was one of only 17 cheeses selected for Gambero Rosso’s "Formaggi i Migliori d’Italia" — a testament to its exceptional character. The aging process locks in moisture and flavor, resulting in a soft yet structured texture with notes of spice, a hint of blue, and the unmistakable taste of the caves. Rich, delicate, and totally singular. A true connoisseur’s cheese and a standout for any specialty counter or premium restaurant menu.

Marcelli FormaggiEstablished 2007

Marcelli Formaggi is a family- owned importer of rare and exceptional foods from the heart of Abruzzo, Italy- one of the country's most pristine and agriculturally rich regions. We work directly with small producers and our own family's farm, La Porta dei Parchi, to offer products that are deeply tied to place, tradition and quality. Our lineup includes award-winning raw milk cheeses made from the milk of our own sheep and goats, raised in the high Gran Sasso National Parks, as well as bronze-cut pasta, raw mountain honey, robust finishing olive oils and truly incredible gluten free pastas. Everything we source is small- batch, seasonal, and hard to find anywhere else- chosen not just for taste but for story and integrity. Whether you're curating a retail shelf or designing a standout menu, Marcelli Formaggi brings the soul of rural Italy directly to you.
