User questions & answers

Question:	sodium content
Answer:	I have no idea . . .
Question:	Antibiotic free
Answer:	defining the o0ne I received from Whole Foods, as a salty cheese would be an understatement. Tasted like salt was the main integredient although the list of nutritional value did not disclose that. I could compare that cheese to a similar one bought at a local Publix supermarket. Very disappointed

Product description

This pure sheep's milk cheese made in four pound wheels comes to us from Calabria, in southern Italy. Calabrese has that famous pecorino flavor and is both sweet and salty. Like most ewe's milk varieties, its surface is a bit oily due to the natural oils in the milk. Formed in woven molds, the rind takes on a ribbed pattern that makes a nice presentation. Excellent as a snacking cheese.

• Ships expedited in an insulated package to ensure freshness
• Imported from Italy
• Serve it grated or sliced...this is a perfect percorino...salty and sweet
• Pairs well with bold red wines like Brunello
• Made from pure sheeps milk

User questions & answers

Question:	How salty is this cheese
Answer:	To eat it by itself it"s salty. I have cooked with it and it "s great and not as strong as parmesan in smell. I highly recommend this cheese and with pasta! it"s wonderful.
Question:	How many pounds is the wedge
Answer:	Three pounds. This one is listed as 3 pounds, although I do not have a kitchen scale and could not weigh to confirm, it did not seem to be lacking. As well as the shipping was listed at 4 pounds, as it did have an ice pack in the shipment.
Question:	Does this cheese actually have sea salt listed on the ingredients list on the package
Answer:	I do not believe so, I think it was closer to something like this: Ingredients: Sheep milk, rennet, salt, ferments. (which i got from a quick google search) The ingredients for this cheese are only on a sticker on the main wheel, not the cut off sections and subsequent packages you get from this seller (or any?) of this particular wheel of pecorino cheese.
Question:	Is this pasteurized or raw
Answer:	Description says it's pasteurized. I am re-ordering, as the first order was very good. We grate it on salads, salty and 'ripe.' Easy to grate (firm from fridge) and more crumbly if you freeze some for later, then thaw and grate.

Product description

Pecorino Romano cheese is one of the oldest Italian cheeses, named for the city of Rome. In Italy, Romano is a Pecorino, made from sheep milk. Aged for ten months, Locatelli Pecorino Romano is firm, moist, and flaky rather than hard, dry, and crumbly. Like all good Pecorino Romano, Locatelli is salty. Its flavor is so assertive that your tongue feels instantly hairy which is why it's best enjoyed with other foods. Conveniently pre-crumbled, Locatelli Pecorino Romano's delicate texture is preserved as a key ingredient in many classic Italian preparations. It is an essential part of pesto; with tomato and bacon in amatriciana sauce or shaved over shell beans like favas. By itself a drizzle of honey is a delicious counterpoint to the cheese's natural spice, salt and sharpness. Locatelli Pecorino Romano is made with animal (not vegetarian) rennet and is always gluten-free.

• Origin: Italy
• Milk Source: Pasteurized Sheep's Milk

Question:	Why has the Amazon fresh price for this almost doubled since September? I paid $8.11 for it then, now it's

Question:	Is this vegetarian

Question:	For those who gave poor reviews did the company give a refund or did Amazon ask them to do so. And did you try to return it
Answer:	I can't remember if it is cows or sheeps milk but I do remember that it does taste like the fake Romano Cheese you see in almost every grocery store so I will not order it again.
Question:	How can you call this freshly grated
Answer:	I dont know...but I like this small wedge size...
Question:	Is it made with cow of sheep milk
Answer:	I Don't know if its a requirement. As I've always purchased in a store and keep it refrigerated once hime.
