Pecorino Romano

Food · PDO · 783 municipalities

Recognized under European law since 1996, Pecorino Romano stands apart from neighboring sheep's milk cheeses due to its sprawling yet highly specific production zone. This territory encompasses exactly 783 municipalities, stretching alphabetically from Abbasanta to Accumoli, with the majority of the land situated within the Lazio region. Despite this vast geographical footprint, the entire certified output is strictly monitored by the Consorzio per la tutela del Formaggio Pecorino Romano and yielded by a select group of just 36 verified producers. This pairing of a massive territorial boundary with a tightly controlled pool of makers establishes a distinct profile unmatched by any sibling denomination.
