What is Pecorino Romano Cheese?

Pecorino Romano is made from sheep's milk and is one of Italy's oldest cheeses. It is a hard cheese that is aged for five or more months, with a flavor that is very similar to Parmigiano Reggiano. Pecorino has a warm white color and a bit of a gritty and dry texture and is covered in a black rind. Pecorino is more tangy and saltier than Parmigiano Reggiano, with nutty and highly umami taste. It is easy to grate and a small amount goes a long way.
