7Pecorino Romano: The Ancient Delight
Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty cheese made from sheep’s milk.
Originating in the Lazio region, this cheese has been produced for over 2,000 years and was a staple in the diet of Roman soldiers. Pecorino Romano has a strong, tangy flavor with a slightly granular texture, making it perfect for grating over pasta dishes like Carbonara and Cacio e Pepe. It can also be enjoyed in chunks, paired with fresh fruit and honey.
For many visitors, Greece, with 18 UNESCO World Heritage sites, is an ideal place to combine a culture and history tour with some quality beach time. Others prefer lively nightlife, which can also be found … or avoided by those who prefer peace and tranquility. You can even enjoy some skiing, not something many people associate with Greece!
