What it is
Pecorino Primo Sale with pepper is a young sheep's-milk cheese supplied as a quarter wheel of approximately 2 kg. Primo sale refers to early salting and short maturation, giving a soft, milky texture lifted by black pepper.
Reference and format
The Bucaro reference comes in a practical quarter-wheel format of about 2 kg. The size suits professional cutting, portioning and display on a cheese counter.
Organoleptic profile
The cheese is soft and fresh, with delicate sheep's-milk character, moderate savouriness and the warm, lightly spicy lift of black pepper. It works as a table cheese and combines easily with other ingredients.
Professional uses and quantities
Plan about 80 to 120 g per cheese-board portion as a starting point. Serve in wedges or cubes for aperitivo, add it to salads, grill or pan-sear it, and use it on bruschetta or pizza.
Errors to avoid
Do not cut the whole quarter wheel too far in advance, expose it to heat or let the peppered surface dry out. Avoid very salty accompaniments that cover the cheese.
Storage and handling
Keep refrigerated at 0 to 4 degrees Celsius, well wrapped and protected from drying. As a young cheese it keeps for less time than mature pecorino; use promptly after cutting.
