A jewel of gastronomy, with a rich and complex flavor, slightly spicy, with a history that dates back to the time of the Roman Empire. In the imperial palaces of the ancient Romans it was the protagonist during banquets and during the travels of the Roman legions.
In the first century AD the writer Columella described the production of Pecorino: the same as Pecorino Romano. The name recalls the most ancient history: yet for more than a hundred years, its production has taken place mainly in Sardinia. From the poet Virgil we know that it was the cheese of the legionaries: a ration of one ounce per day of Pecorino (27 grams) was provided with the ration. It is among the most exported cheeses in the United States: a century ago they made it known and appreciated.
Pecorino Romano is DOP.

Thanks to the long maturation, it is naturally lactose-free. In fact, the long maturation allows the lactose to transform into two simpler sugars: glucose and galactose. Most hard and semi-hard cheeses are lactose-free, as they undergo the same production process.
The aroma is rich and full already when cut or grated, the flavor is intense, spicy, typically tending towards salty.
Pecorino Romano DOP is a fundamental ingredient in traditional Italian recipes. For example, it is indispensable in Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Amatriciana and Gricia. This is because its flavor is simple, but precious and authentic: delicious when grated or enjoyed in pieces with raw vegetables.
