Pecorino is a type of Italian sheep milk cheese, made from the milk of the pecora, or sheep. However, there are many other types of cheese made from sheep's milk that could also be referred to as pecorino. Some synonyms for pecorino include fiore sardo, a hard cheese from Sardinia, Italy; manchego, a Spanish cheese from the La Mancha region; and Roquefort, a blue cheese from France. Other variations of pecorino include pecorino romano, a sharp, salty cheese from central Italy, and pecorino toscano, a milder, creamier cheese from Tuscany. Whether you enjoy it grated over pasta, shaved into salads or simply served with a glass of wine, pecorino cheese and its many variations are truly a treat for your taste buds.
