Ingredients of Pecorino Romano

Ingredients:
Fat 50+, pasteurized sheep's milk, rennet, salt, starter culture

The ultimate Italian seasoning

The Pecorino Romano is one of the oldest and most beloved cheeses from Italy. The word 'pecora' means sheep in Italian, which immediately reveals the basis of this cheese. The cheese is made from high-quality sheep's milk and is characterized by a long ripening. This creates a hard, crumbly structure and an intense, salty and sharp taste that elevates any dish to a higher level.

Although you can perfectly combine this cheese with a robust red wine, Pecorino Romano really shines as a grating cheese. It is the ultimate, indispensable ingredient for classic Roman pasta dishes such as Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Cacio e Pepe. The strong, salty taste of the cheese melts perfectly with the other ingredients and provides an unforgettable, savory and deep flavor experience.

Freshly cut from the knife for an optimal aroma

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we understand that you prefer to receive your cheese as fresh as possible. That is why we only cut your Pecorino Romano fresh from the large cheese the moment you order. Almost immediately afterwards we pack the cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To perfectly preserve the hard structure and the spicy aromas during the journey, we always send your order with a cooling pack. This way you are assured of absolute top quality.

Excellent quality
Review by
Nice, aged Pecorino. It's very good grated on pasta for those who can't eat cow milk Parmesan. I keep it frozen in small chunks for a whole year without trouble. A little on the pricey side, but definitely a treat.
