Pecorino Romano DOP

Pecorino Romano cheese is a well-known Italian cheese with a long history, recognised for its distinctive flavour profile. It originates from Italy and is traditionally produced in the regions of Lazio and Sardinia.

Pecorino Romano is known for its strong, tangy flavour. This hard cheese has a sharp and salty taste with nutty and savoury undertones. As it ages, the flavour deepens and the texture becomes more granular. Pecorino Romano cheese is a versatile ingredient used in a wide range of Italian dishes—it can be grated over pasta, risotto, salads and soups. Due to its bold flavour, pecorino cheese is typically used sparingly to enhance the depth and saltiness of recipes. 

This traditional pecorino romano cheese is especially popular for grating and is often featured in classic Italian recipes such as cacio e pepe, carbonara, and amatriciana. Its saltiness and umami notes make it a perfect finishing touch for many dishes. Whether sprinkled over a hot bowl of pasta or enjoyed on its own, Pecorino Romano remains a staple in Italian cuisine.
