Pecorino Romano is one of Italy's oldest cheeses and is a staple in Italian cooking. Pecorino simply means "sheep" in Italian and although protected by the Eruopean Union, the name Pecorino is more of a description rather than a brand. This cheese is robust, salty, and sharp yet incredibly well-rounded in flavor. The texture is firm, dry, and crumbly making it the perfect cooking or finishing cheese. But you also wont be able to stop snacking on it!
