Pecorino Romano PDO
Pecorino refers to a type of Italian cheese made entirely from ewes’ milk. Pecorino Romano, one of four varieties with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status, ranks as one of the oldest and most
renowned cheeses from Italy. Producers craft Pecorino Romano exclusively in Sardinia, Lazio, and the Tuscan Province of Grosseto, with each region offering a slightly different version depending on the ageing process.
Pecorino Romano dates back to Roman times when soldiers relied on it as a staple food during wartime. Today, artisans make this Italian cheese using pasteurized milk and traditional methods specific to its regions. The cheese ages for 8 to 12 months, developing a dry, granular texture and a robust flavour.
PECORINO ROMANO often serves as a sharper alternative to Parmesan. It complements pasta dishes and pairs well with cured meats and olives. Pair it with oaky white wines or bold Italian reds for a complete culinary experience.
