Pecorino cheese is one of the most ancient cheeses, dating back to the Roman Empire. Made with Sheep's rich milk, Pecorino is said to have graced the tables of Roman emperors. Southern Italian artisans have retained an original preparation method, whereas the cheese wheels are salted numerous times upon drying to deliver that sharp taste. Pecorino has a dry, gritty feel and is frequently used as an alternative to Parmesan cheese. You can find the world's best pecorino romano cheese in our curated collection at Yummy Bazaar.
Locatelli's culture is profoundly entrenched in Italian cheesemaking history. Locatelli, based on the Italian island of Sardinia, began producing authentic Italian cheese over 200 years ago. Sardinia's lush pastures and clean water make it a perfect location for growing sheep and, eventually, manufacturing cheese. All Locatelli's products contain milk from Sheep raised on pasture and fed grass in Sardinia. Locatelli cheese is produced by local craftsmen using traditional techniques of preparation.
