About Pecorino Toscano

Pecorino Toscano is a traditional Italian cheese made from pure sheep’s milk in the Tuscany region. It has a smooth, buttery flavor when young and becomes sharper and nuttier as it ages. The cheese’s aroma is rich and earthy, capturing the essence of the Tuscan countryside.

Pairings

Pecorino Toscano pairs beautifully with honey, pears, figs, and cured meats like prosciutto. It also grates well over pasta or risotto and pairs nicely with red wines such as Chianti or Montepulciano.

Funfact:Pecorino Toscano has been made since Roman times and is protected by DOP (Denominazione di Origine Protetta) status, which ensures it’s produced only in specific parts of Tuscany following traditional methods. Browse All Cheeses →
