Pecorino Romano DOP – 250/300gr
Despite its name, today it is produced primarily in Sardinia, with only a small portion in Lazio (where this cheese originated in the Roman countryside) and the Grosseto area. Well known as a grating cheese, capable of maturing for a long time thanks to its generous salting, it is also excellent on the table. Its designation of origin is one of the oldest in Italy, dating back to 1955.
Luigi Guffanti offers a particularly careful maturation process lasting over 24 months, which takes place in the underground cellars of Arona.
