Jun 06, 2022 374

The consumption levels of Pecorino Toscano PDO are being consolidated both in the domestic market and abroad. This is confirmed by the 2021 figures (source: the protection Consortium) compared to those of 2020. Last year, 2,536.46 tons of product were sold (+8.43% compared to 2020), and almost 19% of the total turnover came from exports.

These numbers are extremely positive, especially considering the drop in milk production in 2021 due to more than seven months of drought. In 2021, the domestic market grew by +7.85 percent to more than 21 million euros (at origin), while exports increased by +27.52 percent (amounting to nearly five million). Translated into retail price, this is nearly 55 million euros per consumer.
