Pecorino denotes sheep's milk in Italian, and Pecorino Romano is one of the oldest and most versatile of these cheeses. Whereas Reggiano and Grana are the favored grating cheese of Northern Italy, Pecorino Romano dominates the southern portion of the country. The original production area of Pecorino Romano is Lazio, the section of Italy that surrounds Rome. The term "Genuino" can only be applied to Romano that is made in Lazio. This special Romano, made from milk taken from a dedicated herd of sheep that live just outside the city of Rome, has a grainy, crumbly texture that is much more flavorful than inferior varieties. A little goes a long way. We enjoy it grated into soups, salads, pastas and gratin casseroles. Sprinkle it over fresh vegetables to add that extra zest.

Don't buy Pecorino Romano pre-grated. As a distinguished cheese pundit remarked, "God didn't make cheese in shakers and it was not born grated". We recommend "grate as you go" because flavor is rapidly lost in powdered form. Tightly rewrap the remaining cheese and store in your refrigerator.

Latest Customer Reviews for Pecorino Romano Genuino
Great Cheese - Great Value!
By Randy
from Florida
on Nov 05, 2011
An outstanding, traditional Italian cheese that's great for special recipes and everyday flavor. It is fairly salty, but retains a tang and aromatic quality. My personal choice for my favorite "cacio e pepe" recipe
Wonderful

This is one of my favorite cheeses. It's very difficult to get in my area, especially at a reasonable price. iGourmet's service makes it both affordable and convenient, and the product itself is delicious.
useful in more dishes than Locatelli

Over fresh cooked pasta, or homemade pasta, over salads. It is firm, flavorful, and pungent all at the same time
Very Good
By Foodie Mom

on Aug 03, 2007
This cheese really adds a lot to pasta dishes. We added it to a pasta dish made simply of grilled zucchini, olive oil, and garlic, and we loved it.
Great Cheese
