Cibaria

Pecorino Romano DOP

4.4 ·

Pecorino Romano DOP from Cibaria is a carefully selected version of the traditional hard sheep’s milk cheese protected under the DOP designation, which guarantees production within defined geographical areas and according to strict specifications. Made from whole sheep’s milk, the cheese has a compact, firm texture and a pronounced aromatic profile combining lactic depth with distinct savory and slightly piquant notes.

In Cibaria’s selection, particular attention is given to balancing salinity, ensuring the flavor remains intense but not overly aggressive, allowing for broader culinary use. The paste is dense and suitable both for grating and shaving, while extended aging develops subtle nutty and grassy nuances.

Pecorino Romano DOP is a key ingredient in classic Roman dishes such as cacio e pepe, carbonara, and amatriciana, where its structure and salt content play both a technical and flavor-enhancing role. Thanks to its stable dry matter and concentrated taste, it is widely used in professional kitchens for finishing pasta, soups, and vegetable preparations.

In Cibaria’s interpretation, this cheese reflects traditional production methods combined with controlled quality standards and a clearly defined regional identity.
