Ricotta Pecorina Italian Sheep Cheese

Ricotta Pecorina is a sheep's milk soft cheese from Italy. A variation of Italian Ricotta cheese, this pure white, firm, rindless cheese originated in the hot, dry island climate of Sicily. It is made from lightly salted sheep’s milk curd that is pressed and dried, then aged for a minimum of three months. Ricotta Pecorina cheese has a savory and intense taste. It’s not at all "sheepy" or salty, but rather has a nutty, sweet, milky flavor, making it extremely versatile, Ricotta Pecorina can be used in salads, pasta dishes and is ideal for grating. The texture is hard and compact, white in color and slightly crumbly when cut. Cut cheese, up to 10 lb.
