Premium Pecorino Romano Cheese, 1 Pound

Pecorino Romano is a variety of cheese, and Locatelli is a brand name of cheese. The Locatelli family began producing Pecorino Romano over 500 years ago in the Lazio region of Italy. Today, Locatelli Pecorino Romano is considered to be one of the finest Pecorino Romano's available. It is unique in quality because it is hand-crafted from 100% pure sheep's milk, which when aged over 9 months at a minimum, results in an aged, spicy and sharp, dry cheese that is perfect for grating. We enjoy cutting up some small pieces of Locatelli Pecorino Romano and savoring it as a snacking cheese, accompanied by traditional Italian antipasti and even artisanal Italian honey and compotes.
