Pecorino Romano
A hard Italian cheese made from sheep's milk. Aged, hard, and grainy, this sharply flavored, pungent cheese ranges in color from white to pale yellow. Manufactured in cylinders, the outside has a hard rind and the inside a white interior. It is a dry cheese that is best used for grating and cooking — it can be used in the same way as Parmesan.

sheep's milk cheese is so delicious. i first tried it when i raided the basket of 'try new cheeses for under $3' basket at whole foods. i've been hooked ever since.
