Italian Pecorino Romano Cheese D.O.P. - Gambero Rosso Award Winning Cheese - Awarded Best Pecorino Romano D.O.P. in Italy - Alma Gourmet - 2lb to 2.5lb Approximately
- Award Winning Cheese. Pecorino Romano Deroma D.O.P. is a 12 month Pecorino Romano well known for being the only pecorino still produced in the province of Rome. Awarded by the Gambero Rosso as the Best Pecorino Romano DOP in Italy, this cheese is exactly the way native Romans intended it: tough, powerful and characterful.
- Handmade According to Ancient Techniques. Robust in flavor, straw-yellow in color, granular and compact texture, Pecorino Romano Deroma D.O.P. is completely handmade and it is still treated with the ancient technique of dry salting. As a result, it has a strong and balanced flavour which has been awarded internationally by Gambero Rosso.
- Unique Flavor. The nose is complex and pervasive, rich in fresh milky notes, herbaceous and floral hints, all adorned by slightly toasty whiffs of nuts. In the mouth you can perceive the signature, bold savoriness that’s so common to traditional Roman cooking, powerful but never excessive.
- Versatile Culinary Ingredient. Pecorino Romano is a popular ingredient in many Italian pasta and casserole dishes. It can be grated like Parmesan cheese and added into a big variety of sauces or used as topping for many recipes. Pecorino is also an excellent table cheese and a great addition to any charcuterie and cheese boards. Cut it into small chunks and serve it together with charcuteries, olives, dried tomatoes and fresh fruit.
- Product of Rome, Italy
- During summer months ice packs might melt and the product may arrive to you warm. We recommend refrigerating immediately upon arrival and consume it after a few hours.
Pecorino is a term used to define Italian cheeses made from 100% sheep's milk. Out of the four Pecorino cheeses that have received Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status under European Union law, Pecorino Romano is one of the most ancient types of cheese as well as the most famous outside of Italy.

As per legislation, production of Pecorino Romano cheese 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 cheese dates back to the Roman times when it was a part of the staple diet of soldiers at war.

Suggestion: Pecorino Romano cheese makes an excellent grating cheese over pasta dishes, breads and baking casseroles. Although, the use of the cheese is limited because of its extreme saltiness. Pair it with a glass of big, bold Italian red wine or a light beer.
