What goes with Pecorino Toscano?
This profile uses Pecorino Toscano DOP stagionato, a firm sheep-milk cheese matured for at least four months. Its compact paste supplies fat, protein and salt, with a nutty, milky savouriness that varies with maturity and producer. It is firmer than fresh Toscano and should not be treated as an interchangeable quantity of the generally saltier Pecorino Romano.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Pecorino Toscano?
Give the cheese room beside juicy pears, fresh beans, bitter greens or toasted nuts. These partners provide moisture, vegetal contrast or crispness without requiring a heavy sauce. Honey works best in a small, separate streak. In cooked dishes, use enough starch or dairy moisture to carry the grated cheese and adjust additional salt only after it is incorporated.
