What is Pecorino?
Pecorino refers to a variety of Italian hard cheese made with sheep's milk. There are many different subspecies that are now also produced in other countries. We used Pecorino Stagionato for our Pecorino pasta. This has matured for over 3 months and therefore has a very mild, pleasant taste. If you want to use a tangier, more aromatic cheese in the recipe, you can simply use longer-aged (older) Pecorino.

Mild - exquisite - hearty
Our pasta with Pecorino is enhanced by the slightly salty shrimp. This means that the shrimp pasta tastes mild and exquisite and is very hearty, especially because of the cheese. What are you waiting for? Are you having pecorino pasta today?
