Short facts : With age the crumbly texture becomes more granular

Pecorino romano is a type of hard, salty Italian cheese that is made from sheep’s milk. It has a pale yellow colour with a crumbly texture and a sharp, tangy flavour. Pecorino romano is widely used in Italian cuisine, particularly in dishes such as pasta, salads and soups. It is often grated over dishes as a finishing touch or added to sauces for extra flavour. The cheese is aged for several months, which gives it a firm texture and a rich, nutty taste.
