Notes

Pecorino is the general name for several types of traditional Italian cheeses made exclusively from sheep's milk (from Italian pecora — 'sheep'). These cheeses have a hard, often crumbly texture and a characteristic tangy, salty taste with nutty notes. The most well-known varieties are Pecorino Romano, Pecorino Sardo, Pecorino Toscano, and Pecorino Siciliano. They can be either young (with a mild, creamy flavour) or aged, which makes them harder and more aromatic. Pecorino Romano is widely used for grating over pasta (e.g., in carbonara or all'amatriciana), while other varieties are often served as table cheeses with honey, pears, or fava beans, paired with local wine.
