Locatelli Pecorino Romano Pepato – 1.5 Pound Wedge

Authentic Italian Pecorino with a Peppery Kick
(With Whole Black Peppercorns)

Add a bold, spicy kick to your favorite dishes with the gold standard of Italian cheese. Frank and Sal's is proud to offer this authentic Locatelli Pecorino Romano Pepato, imported directly from Italy.

This isn't your average grating cheese. "Pepato" means "peppered," and this special variety is studded with whole black peppercorns, added during the cheesemaking process. Crafted from 100% pure, pasteurized sheep's milk and aged for a minimum of 8 months, it develops an intensely sharp, tangy, and perfectly salty flavor that finishes with a robust, peppery bite.

Its firm, dry texture makes it the ultimate cheese for grating. It melts beautifully into classic Roman pastas like Cacio e Pepe or Carbonara, adding complex flavor that simple Romano can't match. You can also shave it over roasted vegetables, slice it thin for a charcuterie board, or enjoy it on hearty, crusty bread.
