Pecorino Romano
Aged Italian Sheep’s Milk Cheese
Contents: Hard, salty cheese made from 100% sheep’s milk, aged for a minimum of 8 months


Product Description

Pecorino Romano is one of Italy’s oldest and most iconic cheeses, traditionally made in Lazio, Sardinia, and the province of Grosseto. Produced from pure sheep’s milk, it is dry-salted and aged for 8 to 12 months, developing a firm texture and sharp, savory character. Known for its salty tang, it is ideal for grating, shaving, or bold cheese pairings:

  • DOP-certified (Denominazione di Origine Protetta)

  • Made from 100% Italian sheep’s milk

  • Naturally aged for intense flavor and dry, crumbly texture

  • Pale ivory color with a hard, edible rind

A staple in Roman cuisine and Mediterranean cooking.


Tasting Notes

  • Salty, sharp, and nutty with pronounced umami

  • Crumbly yet firm texture, ideal for grating
