The Pecorino is one of the oldest cheeses in Sicily, which is still produced according to traditional methods.
The Sicilian Pecorino DOP is a cheese that is closely related to the area of production and can not be made outside of Sicily. The Pecorino produced today is no different from the cheese, which was produced 1,000 years ago. The pastures and production methods are the same as before.
The Sicilian Pecorino gets its uniqueness from the sheep's milk, which must have a specific fat content. The sheep graze on natural pastures only.
The Pecorino is salted by hand 24 hours after preparation. This process is repeated every 10 days. The maturation takes 4 months.
