Italian Sheep Cheese Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP 1 lb.

Pecorino Toscano Stagionato DOP - sheep's milk hard cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Italy.

This traditional Italian Pecorino Toscano is firm and dense in texture with complex nutty flavor. Unlike our other Pecorino's, this one is not aged.
