About Pecorino Romano

Pecorino Romano is one of Italy’s oldest and most famous cheeses, dating back over 2,000 years. It was a staple food for Roman soldiers and remains an essential ingredient in Italian cuisine today. Made from sheep’s milk, this hard cheese is known for its sharp, salty flavor and crumbly texture.

It’s commonly grated over pasta, soups, or salads — especially in classic Roman dishes like *Cacio e Pepe* and *Carbonara*. Aged Pecorino develops a deeper, more complex flavor and a dry, firm rind.

Pairings

Pecorino Romano pairs beautifully with bold red wines like Chianti or Montepulciano. Enjoy it with honey or fresh pears for a balanced flavor contrast.
