Hailing from the picturesque hills of Montella, Pecorino Ricotta Salata is a unique, pressed and aged sheep’s milk cheese that combines the delicate freshness of ricotta with the savory depth of Pecorino. Unlike traditional soft ricotta, this version is salted, pressed, and aged, resulting in a firm yet crumbly texture with a beautifully balanced, salty tang.
Perfect for slicing, or crumbling over dishes, Pecorino Ricotta Salata di Montella enhances any meal with its mild, nutty character and subtle hints of grass and fresh cream. Whether sprinkled over pasta alla Norma, paired with cured meats, or enjoyed simply with a drizzle of olive oil, this cheese brings an authentic taste of Italy to your table.
