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.

Latest Customer Reviews for Locatelli Pecorino Romano - Pound Cut
The BEST!
By nvdi
from Boulder City, NV
on Feb 29, 2012
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

on Aug 04, 2011
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.

The most underrated Italian cheese. Wonderfully full flavor to enhance your tomato sauces or on the table to sprinkle on your favorite dish, terrific on soups.

Locatelli Peccorino Romano

on Oct 30, 2010
This is the best locatelli I have found, and it's at the lowest price! It'd not rxcessively salty and adds just the right amount of cheesy flavor. I love the quick service which gets the cheese to my door within a couple of days from when I order it.
