What it is
Pecorino del Monte is a semi-hard table cheese made from sheep's milk, supplied as a 180 g piece with 16 pieces per case. Gloria is the brand associated with this commercial format.
Product and format
The 180 g piece is easy to portion at the counter, while the case of 16 supports regular professional service. Keep the pieces well wrapped and plan the stock around the menu and expected covers.
Organoleptic profile
Its texture is firm and suitable for slicing or grating. The flavour is aromatic and balanced between mild and savoury, with the depth associated with a sheep's-milk cheese.
Professional uses and portions
Allow 40–60 g per person for a cheese board, or use 20–30 g to finish an individual pasta, soup or gratin. It can also be melted into fillings, bakes and savoury sauces.
Mistakes to avoid
Do not serve it straight from the coldest part of the refrigerator if it is intended for a cheese board. Avoid overheating it in a sauce and do not leave the cut surface unprotected.
Storage
Keep refrigerated at 0–4 °C and well wrapped. Bring the quantity for a cheese board towards room temperature before service, and protect the remaining pieces from air.
