PRODUCTION

Pecorino Romano is a hard and cooked milk-white cheese with some shades of yellow, made exclusively from whole fresh sheep's milk.

This can be processed directly raw or processed by thermization at a temperature of 68 ° C for no longer than 15 minutes, and possibly natural lactic ferments are added, consisting of an association of thermophilic lactic bacteria. The coagulation of the milk is obtained at a temperature between 38 ° / 40 ° C with the use of lamb rennet.

Once the curd has hardened, it proceeds to break it into coagulae the size of a grain of rice and to cook at a temperature not higher than 48 ° C.
