Pecorino Romano Cheese DeRoma Agri-in DOP
The first place winner at Gambero Rosso – The Pecorino Romano Deroma. This is not yet a renowned product on the market; created by a tandem of manufacturers located in Torrita Tiberina, this is the only producer in the Rome province and they transform exclusively local sheep’s milk into artisanal cheeses. Agri-In markets the cheese and distributes mostly in retail in small specialized shops, in the Tyrrhenian Coop circuit and in Italy.
The Pecorino Romano 24-month Deroma wins thanks to its genuineness and exuberance. It’s a classic Pecorino Romano as 100% of Romans intended it to be: spicy, powerful and heady, with robust taste, full of flavor and aromatic notes. These characteristics evolve with the different aging margins and growth of secondary aromas.
Suggestion: Great on salads and pasta. Combines well on a Fava Beans Bruschetta recipe.
