Fulvi Pecorino Romano is an authentic Italian cheese made from 100% sheep's milk, produced in the Roman countryside. It is known for its moon-white interior, feathery granular texture, and a briny, slightly peppery flavor. This cheese is traditionally aged for 10 months to 1 year and is coated in black wax, making it distinct from other Pecorino Romano cheeses. Fulvi Pecorino Romano is celebrated for its rich taste, being less salty and dry compared to other varieties, and is often described as pleasantly gamey with a complex flavor profile.
