Origin

Pecorino Cheese al Pepe Nero hails from Sicily, where it is crafted using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. Made from raw sheep’s milk, this cheese is aged for twenty days before being covered in ground black pepper, which provides a sharp, spicy contrast to the creamy, slightly salty flavour of the Pecorino. The combination of pepper and Pecorino’s rich taste has made this cheese a staple of Sicilian cuisine, celebrated for its bold flavours and versatility.
