About Pecorino Romano
Pecorino Romano is a classic Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, known for its bold, salty flavour and firm, crumbly texture. Originating from central and southern Italy, particularly the Lazio region, it has been a staple in Italian cuisine for centuries. Pecorino Romano is aged for a minimum of five months, resulting in a sharp, savoury cheese with a slightly tangy finish, which becomes more intense as it ages. Its salty profile makes it ideal for grating over pasta, soups, and salads, where it adds a punch of flavour. Unlike milder cheeses, Pecorino Romano stands up well in dishes with strong flavors, like cacio e pepe and carbonara. It’s also enjoyed on its own, often paired with fresh fruit, bread, and robust red wines.
