Pecorino Romano Bronzetto
Price:
$9.99
The first recorded description of Pecorino Romano dates back to the 1st
Century AD, when the agronomist Lucius Moderatus Columella described how
to make Pecorino Romano in his “De Re Rustic”. We also know that 1 oz.
of Pecorino Romano was part of the ancient Roman legionaries daily
rations.
Traditionally made in Latium (Rome), by the 19th Century the demand for
Pecorino Romano had become so great that many makers turned to Sardinia
to make this cheese. Today, Bronzetto by Sardaformaggi is the most
respected and best of the Sardinian-made Romanos. Made in the Northern,
more lush part of this Mediterranean island, Bronzetto’s flavor relies
on fertile land to feed its milk producing ewes. Made only from November
to June, the cheese is then dry salted over a period of 2 months and
aged for at least another year. The dry salting is a very delicate
operation that must be done by hand in order to achieve the best results.
This slightly spicy, sharp, tangy sheep’s milk cheese gets increasingly
robust with age. Its obvious uses are for grating over pasta, soups,
vegetable dishes, and salads. In the Spring it is tradition to serve
Bronzetto with homemade bread, fresh fava beans and wine. Try whittling
off shavings and enjoying with salami. It is also a treat with ripe
pears and honey. This salty, tangy cheese pairs well with Marsala,
Samperi, and Tawny Port.
