  4. PECORINO ROMANO P.D.O.

PECORINO ROMANO P.D.O.

One of Italian cuisine’s most prestigious cheeses and perfect for thousands of recipes: pasta, risotto, salads, summer dishes and tasty appetizers which are quick to prepare.

Pecorino Romano P.D.O., produced in Sardinia, has a centuries-old tradition. Matured and fragrant, it is available au naturel or with the typical dark cappatura. It is a hard cheese, white or straw-yellow in color, whose typical aroma is reminiscent of sheep’s milk.

Its characteristic flavor is aromatic and slightly piquant for a table cheese; Pecorino Romano, which is meant to be grated, is, however, piquant, intense and delightful thanks to a longer maturing.
