Locatelli Pecorino Romano Wedge, 7 oz

Romano cheese is one of the oldest Italian cheeses, named for the city of Rome. In Italy, Romano is typically a Pecorino, made from sheep milk. Aged for ten months, Locatelli Pecorino Romano is firm, moist, and flaky rather than hard, dry, and crumbly. Like all good Pecorino Romano, Locatelli is salty. Its flavor is so assertive that your tongue feels instantly hairy which is why its best enjoyed with other foods: as an essential part of pesto; with tomato and bacon in amatriciana sauce or shaved over shell beans like favas. By iteself a drizzle of honey is a delicious counterpoint to the cheeses natural spice, salt and sharpness. Locatelli Pecorino Romano is made with animal (not vegetarian) rennet and is always gluten-free.
