PECORINO ROMANO DOP

Made out of sheep's milk (the Italian word pecora, from which the name derives). The history of Pecorino Romano dates back thousands of years. Even as far back as 48 AD Virgil, writing on the topic of nutrition, tells us that the daily consumption allocated to each soldier was 27 grams each day. The ration was included in the staple daily meal, spelt soup, which gave soldiers the energy they needed to face battles and unending journeys in what was, then, the unknown world.
