About Pecorino Truffle Piacere

We source Italian Pecorino from specialist producers in Sardinia, Tuscany and Lazio. In particular, Pecorino Fiore Sardo is one of the oldest sheep’s milk cheeses in the world. As a result, each Pecorino variety has a distinct flavour shaped by region, breed and ageing method. Furthermore, Romano is saltier and suits cooking, while Toscano is milder and more approachable. However, all Pecorino varieties reward pairing with honey, figs and good red wine. In particular, flavoured Pecorino — with truffle or chilli — carries the sheep’s milk intensity into a new dimension. Additionally, DOP certification guarantees genuine Italian sheep’s milk. That breadth of Pecorino style defines our Italian sheep’s milk range. That is why this product from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cheese lovers.

Why Choose Pecorino Truffle Piacere From Us

Using Pecorino well rewards understanding each variety’s role. In contrast to Pecorino Romano’s bold salinity, Toscano is mild and approachable. As a result, Romano suits cacio e pepe and amatriciana where its sharpness is essential. Furthermore, freshly grated Pecorino Romano melts into pasta water to create the distinctive creamy sauce of the great Roman dishes. However, flavoured Pecorino — with truffle or chilli — suits direct eating on the board more than cooking. In particular, never use pre-grated Pecorino as the flavour diminishes quickly. Moreover, Pecorino Fiore Sardo has a unique smoked rind character from the Sardinian method. Additionally, all Pecorino suits honey, figs and good red wine. That breadth from fresh to aged defines our Pecorino range.
