Pecorino Romano PDO 250 g (Case 12)

What it is

Pecorino Romano DOP is a hard sheep's-milk cheese with a distinct savoury and salty profile. It is supplied in 250 g portions, 12 per case, 3 kg total.

Product reference and format

The protected name in the product identity is Pecorino Romano DOP. The supplier reference confirms 12 portions of 250 g per case for professional grating and portioning.

Organoleptic profile

The paste is firm and easy to grate, with a pronounced sheep's-milk character and long salty finish. At room temperature it shows more aroma and a pleasantly crumbly bite.

Professional uses and portions

For cacio e pepe, carbonara or amatriciana, start with 20 to 30 g grated cheese per pasta portion and adjust after tasting. It also suits soups, salads, vegetables and antipasti.

Common mistakes to avoid

Taste cheese and cooking water before adding salt. Do not grate much more than service needs and do not store an opened portion uncovered, as it dries and loses aroma.

Storage and handling

Keep refrigerated at the label temperature and wrap opened portions well. Temper only the amount needed for table service while keeping the bulk cold and protected from odours.
