Pecorino cheese is one of the most ancient cheeses of the world, dating back well over 2000 years. Pecorino is made from sheep's milk--it comes from the Italian word "pecora," meaning sheep. Sicilian Pecorino cheese has been manufactured since the 11th century from ewe's milk in the inland areas of the beautiful island of Sicily, once known as the "central location of the known civilized world". Nearly 3000 years of history are on this island (roughly the size of New Jersey). There are stone ruins, temples of ancient people, monasteries, outdoor theatres, and endless vineyards and olive groves.

Our Sicilian Pecorino is available in five varieties, including Olive, Red Pepper, Pistachio, Black Pepper and the wonderful Fantasy Tri-Color (studded with olives, arugula and chili pepper flakes)
