COLLA PECORINO ROMANO D.O.P RW

Colla S.p.A. is an Italian company founded in 1921, renowned for producing traditional cheeses such as Pecorino Romano. The company is headquartered in Cadeo, Italy, and has been managed by the fourth generation, maintaining a strong connection to its roots. Pecorino Romano is a hard, cooked cheese made from fresh whole sheep’s milk, exclusively sourced from farms within the production area, which includes the regions of Lazio and Sardinia and the province of Grosseto in Tuscany. The cheese is traditionally produced from October to July, following age-old practices. It has a dense consistency with a pale ivory or straw-colored crust and is known for its aromatic, lightly spicy flavor. The rounds are cylindrical, weighing between 20 and 35 kg, and are stamped with the logo of a stylized sheep's head. Pecorino Romano is sold after a minimum maturation period of 5 months for table cheeses and 8 months for grating types. (pecorinoromano.com)
