Pecorino Romano Wedge ±3.5Kg

Zarpellon Pecorino Romano DOP is a hard, cooked-paste sheep's milk cheese with origins dating back to the Roman Empire, produced exclusively within the protected regions of Lazio, Sardinia, and the province of Grosseto in accordance with strict DOP regulations. Made from whole sheep's milk with salt, lamb rennet, and milk ferments, it is matured for a minimum of 5 months, developing the compact, slightly holed paste, thin white rind, and bold, aromatic flavour that have made it one of Italy's most enduring and widely used hard cheeses. The flavour is decisive and intensely savoury with a characteristic spiciness that becomes more pronounced as the cheese ages.

A hard cheese of genuine character for professional kitchens and serious cheese counters, Pecorino Romano DOP occupies a distinct position from the milder cow's milk hard cheeses in the range. Its sharper, more assertive profile makes it irreplaceable in the Roman pasta classics it was born alongside, while its versatility extends naturally to cheese boards, antipasti, and finishing applications across a wide range of dishes. It suits restaurants, premium delis, and wholesale accounts across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for an authentic Italian sheep's milk hard cheese with full DOP traceability.
