Chelmos Pecorino Romano Cheese, Approx Weight - 3KG
Pecorino Romano, about 3kg. Chelmos. Hard, aged sheep's milk cheese, sharp, salty, and deeply savoury. Grate it to finish cacio e pepe, carbonara, and amatriciana. Check the pack before you call it DOP. True Pecorino Romano DOP is made only in Lazio, Sardinia, or Tuscany.
An Italian restaurant grates it over pasta, risotto, and pizza, and shaves it for Caesar and an antipasti board. A hotel kitchen drops a little into minestrone or a stock when the pot needs salt and savour. Chunk it as well as grate it.
The 3kg block is a kitchen block. Keep it at 2-8°C and wrap it after every cut. Sheep's milk. It may contain animal rennet, so check the pack if a guest needs vegetarian. Weigh it on receipt. The weight is approximate.
