The Pisan territory boasts an array of delightful local products that grace the dining table, including cheeses, most notably the "pecorino baccellone." This soft-textured cheese, crafted from sheep's milk, is lightly salted and traditionally served with fava beans. Then there's the "pecorino del Parco di Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli," known for its soft to semi-hard texture, produced exclusively from whole sheep's milk from native breeds raised within the park, particularly the "massese" sheep. The Pisan pecorino, made from raw milk produced in the Balze Volterrane, is enjoyed both fresh and aged. Its distinctive flavor comes from the aging process involving fresh grass, wheat, or ash with raw milk.

The true delicacy, however, is the beach honey. The production of beach honey at San Rossore Estate is a unique and distinctive process. This honey is carefully crafted from nectar gathered by bees from the blossoms of coastal flowers that thrive along the shoreline. It boasts a delicate and slightly salty flavor profile, reflecting the surrounding environment. The subtle brininess of the sea air and the diverse flora of the beach contribute to its special taste.
