Pecorino Romano

Why is this cheese so goddamn expensive? It's like almost three times PDO Parmigiano-Reggiano by weight.

It's a third of Parmigiano, wtf are you on? The reason people use it is mostly that it's so much cheaper

Sheep milk is probably more expensive

I was wondering that as well. Got a couple ounces of boars head and the shit was $8. But tried cacio e pepe for the first time and the recipe i used called for it. I would buy again!

Pecorino-Romano is strictly a sheep's milk cheese, while Parmigiano Reggiano is cow's milk, which is cheaper. Pecorino Romano also has a smaller PDO area than ParmReg, meaning fewer places can legally produce it.
