About this item

  • Award Winning Cheese. Pecorino Romano Deroma D.O.P. is a 12 month Pecorino Romano well known for being the only pecorino still produced in the province of Rome. Awarded by the Gambero Rosso as the Best Pecorino Romano DOP in Italy, this cheese is exactly the way native Romans intended it: tough, powerful and characterful.
  • Handmade According to Ancient Techniques. Robust in flavor, straw-yellow in color, granular and compact texture, Pecorino Romano Deroma D.O.P. is completely handmade and it is still treated with the ancient technique of dry salting. As a result, it has a strong and balanced flavour which has been awarded internationally by Gambero Rosso.
  • Unique Flavor. The nose is complex and pervasive, rich in fresh milky notes, herbaceous and floral hints, all adorned by slightly toasty whiffs of nuts. In the mouth you can perceive the signature, bold savoriness that’s so common to traditional Roman cooking, powerful but never excessive.
  • Versatile Culinary Ingredient. Pecorino Romano is a popular ingredient in many Italian pasta and casserole dishes. It can be grated like Parmesan cheese and added into a big variety of sauces or used as topping for many recipes. Pecorino is also an excellent table cheese and a great addition to any charcuterie and cheese boards. Cut it into small chunks and serve it together with charcuteries, olives, dried tomatoes and fresh fruit.
  • Product of Rome, Italy
  • During summer months ice packs might melt and the product may arrive to you warm. We recommend refrigerating immediately upon arrival and consume it after a few hours.

Big Chunk of Cheese with Big Rich Flavor and Firm Texture
This is a 2 pound chunk remaining from the 6 pound Package. It came in three pieces; two of @ 3 pounds each and a small piece with about 5 ounces extra. Hard as a rock, salty and very tasty, it keeps well in the fridge for 2 months, no trouble. Diced into soups it takes on a rubbery texture that releases the salt flavor when you bite into it. Very slow melting, but a great addition to a cheese crisp when sliced on top of cheddar.
