Origin

Pecorino Cheese al Peperoncino originates from Sicily, where the combination of rich sheep's milk and the fiery heat of peperoncino has been crafted for centuries. Known for its bold, spicy flavour, this cheese is a staple in Sicilian cuisine. The peperoncino gives the cheese a distinct, lingering aftertaste that balances perfectly with its creamy, milky texture. This cheese embodies the bold, robust flavours of southern Italy and is a true representation of Sicilian cheesemaking traditions.
