The Locatelli family began producing Pecorino Romano cheese over 500 years ago in the Lazio region of Italy. Today, Locatelli Pecorino Romano is considered to be one of the finest Pecorino Romano's available. Hand-crafted from 100% pure sheep's milk, and aged over 9 months at a minimum. The result is a spicy and sharp, dry cheese that is perfect for grating. We like to cut up some small pieces and enjoy it as a snacking cheese, accompanied with traditional Italian antipasti and even artisan Italian honey and compotes.
