The Pecorino Romano is an Italian cheese made from sheep's milk and produced in the Rome region and its surroundings. The Pecorino Romano is characterized by its strong and salty flavor, which is obtained thanks to the addition of salt and a refining of several months. It has a hard texture and a dry crust, and it is generally produced in the form of large cylinders or grinding wheels. The Pecorino Romano is often used in scratching on dishes of pasta, vegetables or meats.
