Locatelli Pecorino Romano Wedge, 7 oz

Pecorino Romano, one of the oldest Italian cheeses, is named after the city of Rome. In Italy, Romano is typically a Pecorino, made from sheep 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 your tongue feels instantly hairy, which is why it's best enjoyed with other foods: as an essential part of pesto, with tomato and bacon in amatriciana sauce, or shaved over shell beans like favas. A drizzle of honey is a delicious counterpoint to the cheese's natural spice, salt, and sharpness when enjoyed on its own. Locatelli Pecorino Romano is made with animal (not vegetarian) rennet and is always gluten-free.

The cheese is imported from Italy and is 100% authentic, real sheep milk Pecorino Romano. Its salty and sharp taste makes it an ideal ingredient for pesto, grating, or shaving over vegetables.
