About Pecorino Pepato
Pecorino Pepato is a traditional Italian sheep’s milk cheese that is infused with whole black peppercorns, giving it a bold, spicy kick. Originating from Sicily, this aged cheese has a firm, crumbly texture and a rich, nutty flavor that deepens as it matures. The peppercorns add a sharp, piquant contrast to the cheese’s natural saltiness, making it a favorite for grating over pasta, pairing with cured meats, or enjoying on a cheese board with honey and rustic bread. Pecorino Pepato is often aged for several months, developing a robust character that complements full-bodied red wines like Nero d’Avola or Chianti.
