Pecorino Romano DOP (WHOLE WHEEL) - 24kg apx Wheel

Pecorino Romano

Pecorino Romano boasts a 2,000-year-old history, dating back to the Roman Empire, where it was a staple ingredient in countless dishes. Made in 24kg barrel-shaped wheels bearing the PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) mark, ensuring its authenticity and adherence to traditional production methods. Made from high-quality milk sourced from pastured sheep, this cheese stands apart from others that rely on excessive salt to mask inferior milk. Instead, just the right amount of salt is used to preserve and enhance the cheese’s natural character.

Pecorino Romano has an intense depth of flavour, rich in umami from the formation of flavourful amino acids. This makes it an exceptional cooking cheese—perfect for grating finely over pasta sauces, soups, and vegetable dishes. Shaved, it adds a bold, savoury touch to green salads. It is of course, the essential cheese for Cacio e Pepe.
