Locatelli Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese, 8 oz

Pecorino Romano, one of the oldest Italian cheeses, is named after the city of Rome. In Italy, Romano is a type of Pecorino, made from sheep's milk. Locatelli Pecorino Romano, aged for ten months, is firm, moist, and flaky, rather than hard, dry, and crumbly. Like all good Pecorino Romano, Locatelli is salty, and its flavor is so assertive that it instantly makes your tongue feel hairy, which is why it's best enjoyed with other foods.

Conveniently pre-crumbled, Locatelli Pecorino Romano's delicate texture is preserved as a key ingredient in many classic Italian preparations. It is an essential part of pesto, and it also works well with tomato and bacon in amatriciana sauce or shaved over shell beans like favas. A drizzle of honey can be a delicious counterpoint to the cheese's natural spice, salt, and sharpness.

Locatelli Pecorino Romano is made with animal (not vegetarian) rennet and is always gluten-free. It is an authentic, imported Italian Pecorino Romano, made with 100% sheep's milk.
