About Pecorino cheese
Pecorino cheese is a renowned Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk, primarily produced in the regions of Lazio, Sardinia, and Tuscany. It has a firm texture and ranges in flavor from mild and nutty when young to sharp and tangy as it ages. Rich in calcium and protein, Pecorino is a source of essential nutrients that support bone health and muscle repair. However, it is also high in saturated fat and sodium, which should be consumed in moderation for heart health. Pecorino is versatile in Italian cuisine, often grated over pasta dishes, enjoyed with honey, or paired with fruits and nuts. Its deep, savory flavor makes it a staple in traditional recipes, but portion control is key to balancing its nutritional profile.
