About Pecorino formaggio
Pecorino Formaggio is a traditional Italian cheese crafted from sheep’s milk, renowned for its rich, nutty flavor and firm texture. Originating primarily in Sardinia, Lazio, and Tuscany, Pecorino’s production dates back thousands of years, making it one of Italy's oldest cheeses. Nutritionally, Pecorino is a good source of calcium and protein, essential for bone health and muscle function, while its sheep’s milk base contains higher levels of healthy fats compared to cow's milk cheeses. However, Pecorino is a high-sodium cheese and should be consumed in moderation, particularly by individuals monitoring their salt intake. Its robust flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean dishes, often grated over pasta or paired with fruits and honey. With its deep historical roots and distinctive taste, Pecorino Formaggio embodies the rich culinary heritage of Italy while offering several nutritional benefits when enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
