Pecorino di Picinisco

Produced throughout the entire Comino Valley in the Province of Frosinone, Pecorino di Picinisco is an uncooked, hard cheese made with raw sheep milk. It is available in two varieties, Scamosciato (semi-matured) and Stagionato (matured), both of which are quite different in appearance and flavor.

While Scamosciato has a sweet flavor and a strong aroma of mountain pastures, the Stagionato variety is more intense and full bodied, with pronounced spicy notes. Pecorino di Picinisco is used as a basic ingredient in many traditional recipes of the Lazio region but it is also excellent on its own, typically enjoyed with a slice of Pane Casareccio di Genzano or with acacia honey and green tomato or red onion jam.
