Pecorino Romano, Pecorino stagionato

Pecorino Romano DOP is a traditional Italian sheep cheese suitable both as a flavorful table cheese and as a high-quality grating cheese. It has a white rind or a black protective coating and a white, compact texture with small, fine holes.

This hard cheese is known for its salty, strong and intense flavor, accompanied by a distinctive aromatic character. As it matures, Pecorino Romano develops an increasingly pronounced taste with a pleasant spicy finish.

The entire side of the cheese bears the traditional identifying marks: the inscription PECORINO ROMANO, the official logo, the dairy or production number, and the month and year of production. These markings identify the cheese’s protected origin and traditional production.

Pecorino Romano DOP is perfect for grating over pasta, risotto and soups. It can also be enjoyed on an Italian cheese platter or served with bread and wine.
