Pecorino Romano is a classic Italian cheese made from 100% sheep's milk and aged from 8 to 12 months to achieve a balanced flavour profile. It is one of Italy’s great originals — a cheese with history, substance, and a flavour that has stood the test of time.
With a firm, crumbly yet slightly creamy texture, this cheese offers a savoury, mildly tangy taste with a hint of sweetness. Versatile and full of character, Pecorino Romano is perfect for slicing, grating or enjoying alongside fruits and a good glass of wine.
The term "Pecorino" simply means "sheep’s cheese" in Italian, and there are many regional varieties. However, Pecorino Romano D.O.P. is the original and most ancient variety, dating back over two thousand years to the Roman Empire. It was not just a food; it was essential for Roman soldiers, valued for its long shelf life and high nutritional content while on the march. That same bold, salty flavour and deep, satisfying taste made it a staple then — and it remains just as indispensable today, bringing a piece of Italy’s enduring tradition to your table.
