Pepato is a traditional Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk and whole black peppercorns. Originating from Sicily, it has a rich history intertwined with the region’s tumultuous past. Despite facing challenges like droughts and limited grazing pastures, Pepato has stood the test of time and is now enjoyed by people from all walks of life.
This aged pecorino cheese is matured for at least 4 months, resulting in a bold and spicy flavour profile. It can be grated over dishes like soups, salads, and pastas, adding a unique twist to classic recipes. Pepato’s versatility makes it a popular choice for both everyday meals and special occasions, offering a delightful alternative to traditional pecorino cheese.
