Description
Pecorino Romano DOP is a cheese made from 100% sheep's milk, produced according to strict regulations governing the production of Pecorino Romano DOP. The livestock must come from the area defined by the DOP, as must the milk processing and, naturally, the milk itself. Pecorino Romano is a cheese that ranges in color from straw yellow to amber, depending on its aging. The paste is white with some small holes. The flavor is strong and typical, with spiciness increasing with aging. Pecorino Romano is the oldest cheese made from sheep's milk, with a history dating back to ancient Romans. Pairings: Pecorino Romano DOP is excellent when consumed on its own, with cherry or apricot jam. Recommended wine: Frappato Tenute Orestiadi Storage: Store in the refrigerator, cover the cut part with a cloth. Processing: Raw sheep's milk is heated and calf rennet is added. The curd is broken, usually using a wooden stick. The paste is placed in molds where it takes its typical shape, and a light pressing is done to remove the whey. The cheese is dry salted. Aging: 23
