Dating back to ancient Roman times, Pecorino Romano is one of the world's oldest recorded cheeses. Pecorino is an Italian word meaning from sheep's milk, and Romano indicates that this cheese is of Roman descent. All Pecorino Romano is made in either Lazio, Tuscany, or Sardinia during the months between November and June. These three regions have very similar pastures and breeds of sheep, ensuring consistent flavor and quality. Pecorino Romano is a name protected (DOC) cheese; its production overseen by the Consorzio per la Tulela del Formaggio Pecorino Romano. There are numerous Pecorinos made throughout Italy, but only one Pecorino Romano. Perhaps the most famous brand for Pecorino Romano in the U.S. is Locatelli. Aged for a minimum of nine months, this cheese is hard and dense; strong and sharp in flavor. It is pale yellow in color, with a black paper rind bearing the name Locatelli. Grate this cheese and serve it over pasta, soups, and salads. As a dessert, serve it chunked, drizzled with honey, and paired with ripe pears.
  • Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.
  • Photo depicts whole 15 lb. form of cheese.
  • We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.

Pecorino Romano Cheese
One of my all time favorite cheeses. Delicious with a wonderful depth of flavor. I grate the cheese and keep only a small amount in the refrigerator the rest in the freezer for easy access. Simply wonderful.

The BEST!
I don't usually write reviews, but when I saw this had a less than 5 star rating, I had to put in my rating. It is by far the best romano available. I have tried many different ones and this has the absolute best flavor! Always delivered quickly!

Locatelli Pecorino Romano
This is an outstanding Pecorino Romano, the best we ever tasted. We usually purchase a different brand but the last time we wished to order our usual brand was not in stock so we ordered this. What a lucky break for us...we love it. It's everything a Pecorino Romano should be. In additon to being an outstanding cheese it was shipped promptly and well packaged so it stayed fresh.

Locatelli cheese
Got here quickly, really did not need to include ice packs as cheese will not perish in that short of time and it would save on shipping, but glad to be able to find and buy Locatelli, our favorite cheese.
