Pecorino Romano PDO, Quarter approx. 6 kg

What it is

Pecorino Romano DOP is a hard sheep’s-milk cheese with a salty, assertive character. This product is supplied as a quarter wheel of approximately 6 kg for professional kitchens that grate and portion cheese every day.

Product and format

The format is one quarter of a wheel, approximately 6 kg. It is handled as a variable-weight cheese format, and the approximate piece weight is the useful ordering reference.

Designation and identification

The product name includes the Pecorino Romano DOP designation. Supplier information identifies Gennaro Auricchio S.p.A. for this item; the quarter-wheel format is the clear product reference.

Organoleptic profile

The cheese has a firm, cooked paste with a salty, sharp and intensely savoury profile. Its structure supports fine or coarse grating and keeps a clear sheep’s-milk character in finished dishes.

Professional uses and quantities

Grate it for cacio e pepe, amatriciana and carbonara, or use it in fillings, soups, gratins and antipasto service. Portion according to the recipe; the quarter format suits steady, high-volume grating.

Common mistakes to avoid

Do not leave the cut surface exposed, as the cheese can dry out. Use a suitable grater, avoid overheating the cheese during preparation and balance its saltiness before seasoning the dish.

Storage and handling

Keep refrigerated at 0–4 °C and well wrapped to limit drying. Use clean utensils, cut only what the service needs and return the unused quarter to cold storage after preparation.
