About Pecorino
Pecorino is a traditional Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, prized for its rich, tangy flavor and crumbly texture. Originating in Italy, Pecorino varieties such as Pecorino Romano, Pecorino Toscano, and Pecorino Sardo are deeply rooted in Mediterranean cuisine and often feature in pasta dishes, salads, or enjoyed on their own. This cheese is a good source of protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle function. It also contains essential vitamins like B12 and phosphorus. However, Pecorino is high in sodium and saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation, especially by individuals monitoring heart health or blood pressure. Its robust flavor makes it a versatile addition to dishes, offering a satisfying taste with small portions. One of the oldest cheeses in Italy, Pecorino continues to be a staple ingredient, valued for its rich heritage and nutritional benefits.
