CHEESE OF THE DAY: PECORINO


Pecorino is a very hard sheeps milk Italian cheese - in fact its name is derived from the word Pecora which means "Sheep" (or the Latin for "Livestock"), its crumbly and salty, making it a good cheese to add to dishes with - it is the preferred cheese for pasta dishes in Rome & Lazio.
I grated it over a nice big bowl of pasta with some quality olive oil, rocket, panchetta & ground black pepper. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
