PECORINO ROMANO - CASTEL GANDOLFO (8oz)

Pecorino-Castel Gandolfo is a delicate, refined version of Pecorino which contrasts with the powerful sharp style of Locatelli. This Sheep’s milk hard cheese is made in the ancient tradition in the beautiful pastures of the Castel Gandolfo area in the Castelli Romani. Castel Gondolfo is an idyllic mountain town in the Alban hills which is one of the most beautiful in Italy featuring dramatic lake & mountain views with crisp clean air, yet just a short drive from  Rome. The sheep graze in this paradise and produce a rich, decadent milk which is at the heart of the sophisticated flavor of this artisanal cheese.
Pecorino Romano is a very ancient cheese with more than 2000 years of history dating back to Julius Caesar and the ancient Roman Empire. It was especially appreciated in the imperial palaces and as part of the legionaries’ daily diet, chosen for its long conservation and for its ability to restore warriors’ strength and vigor. Today it is enjoyed in Rome and all over Italy as one of the counties premier cheese and equally delicious as part of a Tagliere (Cheese plate or tasting) or grated over pasta for dramatic flavor. Buon Appetito!
