A hard, ivory-coloured, organic traditionally made sheep cheese product, the name pecorino derives from pecora, which means 'sheep' in Italian.
Pecorino is the name given to cheeses made entirely of sheep's milk of which many varieties can be found across Italy.
Sardo
Pecorino is one of Italy's oldest cheeses and is made with raw sheep's milk, giving it an authentic rural taste.
This Pecorino Sardo is a matured (3-6 months), excellent quality artisanal cheese made from the milk of the mountain and wild pasture sheep of Sardinia - one of the BLUE ZONE areas of the world.
Mature Pecorino cheese can be used for cooking, grating, or as a table cheese, and can be used to make fresh pesto.
