Ingredients of Pecorino Pepato
Ingredients:
Thermised sheep's milk, salt, starter culture, animal rennet, peppercorns 0.3%
The spicy taste of Sicily
The Pecorino Pepato is an iconic cheese that originates in the sun-drenched south of Italy. 'Pecora' is the Italian word for sheep, and 'Pepato' means peppered. This cheese is traditionally made from high-quality sheep's milk, which provides a characteristic, slightly salty and full base flavor. However, what makes the Pepato so unique is the addition of whole black peppercorns to the curd during the preparation process.
During maturation, the spicy, herbaceous flavor of the pepper penetrates deep into the cheese. The result is a fantastic contrast between the creaminess of the sheep's milk and the sharp, warming bite of the pepper. This cheese is incredibly versatile in the Italian kitchen. It is delicious to eat pure as a spicy accent on a cheese board, together with a glass of robust red wine. In addition, Pecorino Pepato is perfect for grating fresh over pasta dishes, a creamy risotto or a fresh salad. The peppery flavor immediately gives a delicious kick to all your culinary creations.
Freshly cut from the knife for optimal freshness
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this authentic Italian cheese with the greatest care. We only cut your piece of Pecorino Pepato fresh from the large cheese wheel the moment you place your order. Immediately after cutting, the cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To protect the delicate structure and the spicy aromas during transport, we always ship your order with a cooling pack as standard. This way you are guaranteed to enjoy the very best quality at home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Pecorino Pepato
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
No, this Pecorino Pepato is made from thermised sheep's milk. This means that the milk has been slightly heated, a process between raw and pasteurized. This preserves the natural aromas while making the cheese safe to consume.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
No, animal rennet is used in the traditional preparation of this sheep's cheese. As a result, the cheese is unfortunately not suitable for a strict vegetarian diet.
Can I use this cheese instead of Parmesan?
Certainly! Pecorino Pepato is an excellent alternative for grating. Keep in mind that Pecorino is saltier and sharper in flavor, and because of the peppercorns gives a clear spicy kick to your dish compared to Parmesan cheese.
Do you also sell other Italian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to this spicy Pecorino Pepato, we have a very wide range of the tastiest cheeses from Italy. View our complete category Italian Cheese to discover all our Mediterranean seasonings.
