Product Description
Pecorino is the generic name for Italian sheep's milk cheeses. This special pecorino comes dotted with red peperoncino flakes that give it a moderate spiciness that tickles the back of your throat without setting your mouth on fire. The peperoncino is an Italian red chili pepper that is shaped like a finger and about as hot as a jalapeno. Aged for over three months, the cheese has a firm texture that makes it a good candidate for slicing or grating. People who like spicy cheeses like PepperJack might find our Chili Pepper Pecorino to be a sophisticated alternative. It nicely blends the herbaceous flavor of sheep's milk with the spice of Italian chili peppers.
