pecorino cheese
Italian sheep product
Pecorino is a hard Italian cheese made from sheep's milk, with a sharp, salty flavor that intensifies with age.
Pecorino Romano, the best-known variety, is commonly grated over pasta dishes like cacio e pepe and amatriciana.
Other regional types include Pecorino Toscano and Pecorino Sardo.
The name comes from the Italian word for sheep.
