#58 Pecorino Romano

This is antique cheese. Just look at that photo and the deep rich golden colours of a beautifully aged cheese. And it's been made since the days of the Roman Empire.
Our piece was dry and crumbly with a flavour of rich, salty, caramel (and slightly nutty too). Made in Sardinia from sheep's milk its aged 5-8 months. One variety of pecorino (Casu marzu - not this one) is made using fly larvae. Maybe a future addition to the tally???



Is cheese is good
