A true icon of Italian cheesemaking, Pecorino Romano is a bold, salty, and intensely flavorful aged sheep’s milk cheese with a history dating back over 2,000 years. Crafted primarily in Sardinia, this PDO-certified cheese is known for its firm, crumbly texture and sharp, umami-packed bite, making it an essential ingredient in classic Italian dishes like Cacio e Pepe, Carbonara, and Amatriciana.
Aged for a minimum of 8 to 12 months, Pecorino Romano develops a complex depth of flavor, balancing salty intensity with nutty, tangy undertones. Its robust character makes it ideal for grating, shaving, or enjoying in small bites, pairing beautifully with rustic Italian breads, honey, and full-bodied wines.
