What it is

Pecorino Pepato by Bucaro is a semi-hard sheep's-milk cheese with whole black peppercorns, supplied as a quarter wheel of about 3 kg for professional kitchens.

Producer and format

The Bucaro product is supplied as a quarter of a wheel of approximately 3 kg. This is a weight-based piece format rather than a defined case quantity.

Organoleptic profile

The cheese has a savoury sheep's-milk base, a firm semi-hard texture and a lively pepper note. It can be cut, shaved or grated according to the service requirement.

Professional uses and dosing

Serve it on cheese boards, cut it for aperitivo, or use it over pasta, risotto and grilled vegetables. Start with 15 to 25 g per pasta portion and adjust after tasting.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not salt a dish fully before tasting the cheese, add it to excessive heat or leave the opened piece exposed to moisture. Use a clean knife and grate only the quantity needed for service.

Storage and handling

Keep refrigerated at 0 to 4 degrees Celsius and well wrapped. Bring only the service quantity to room temperature, then return the remaining cheese promptly to refrigeration.
