Italiamo Pecorino Romano PDO

Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese, often used for grating, made with sheep's milk. The 'Italiamo' brand is a premium private label owned by the German retailer Lidl, specifically designed to market authentic Italian products. This Pecorino Romano holds a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) certification, which guarantees it is produced according to traditional methods in specific regions of Italy, primarily Sardinia, Lazio, and the province of Grosseto in Tuscany.

While the Italiamo brand is owned by Lidl (a German company), the product itself is produced by selected Italian dairy manufacturers to meet PDO standards. This ensures that even though it is sold under a discount retailer's private label, the manufacturing origin remains strictly Italian. Lidl manages the distribution through its global network, making these specialty Italian foods accessible across Europe and other international markets where Lidl operates.
