Pecorino Romano DOP, a regional excellence with a bold flavour
Pecorino Romano PDO is a flavorful Italian hard cheese made entirely from sheep’s milk. Aged for at least five months, it develops a bold flavor and a crumbly texture, perfect for grating over pasta. Its aromatic, intense, and slightly spicy flavor pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. This cheese has a rich history, dating back to ancient Rome, and is still produced today using traditional methods in specific regions of Italy. Latteria Soresina selects the finest wheels to prepare a wide selection of cuts and grated cheeses.
