Pecorino Romano is the most ancient type of cheese and the most famous cheese outside of Italy. The six main Pecorino cheese have received Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status under European Union law. All these varieties differ from each other, depending on their ageing period. As per legislation, production of Pecorino Romano is allowed only on the islands of Sardinia, Lazio and in the Tuscan Province of Grosseto. As the name suggests, the history of Pecorino Romano dates back to Roman times when it was a part of the staple diet of soldiers at war. In their works, Roman authors, including Varro, Pliny the Elder, Hippocrates and Columella, have mentioned cheese \u0026amp; its production technique. Even today, the cheese is made using the traditional method. The wheels get salted numerous times by hand to deliver a fabulous taste. After ageing for more than five months, it develops a dry and granular texture and a strong taste. When young, the cheese has a soft and rubbery texture with a sweet and aromatic flavour. The flavour becomes sharper and smokier when aged for more than eight months.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2026-02-24T08:23:54+00:00","created_at":"2026-02-24T08:23:54+00:00","vendor":"Toons Bridge Dairy","type":"","tags":["Cheese","Spanish and Italian Cheese"],"price":450,"price_min":450,"price_max":450,"available":false,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":53800038564180,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"ch09b","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":false,"name":"Pecorino Romano DOP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":450,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/toonsbridgedairy.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ch09b.png?v=1771922020"],"featured_image":"\/\/toonsbridgedairy.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ch09b.png?v=1771922020","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":64302778188116,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.008,"height":381,"width":384,"src":"\/\/toonsbridgedairy.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ch09b.png?v=1771922020"},"aspect_ratio":1.008,"height":381,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/toonsbridgedairy.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ch09b.png?v=1771922020","width":384}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 150g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePecorino Romano is one of the most widely used, sharper alternatives to Parmesan cheeses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts a strong, salty cheese that is excellent grated over pasta dishes, bread and baked casseroles. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eContains\u003c\/strong\u003e: SHEEPS MILK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003eMore about Pecorino Romano:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePecorino is a term used to define Italian cheese made from 100% sheep’s milk.
