Firm and dense but still moist, breaks into clean pieces with a touch of give. Not yet at parmesan's dryness, sitting closer to a mature pecorino with a little spring left in the paste.
Aged pecorino character through and through, savory and rich with a sheep's milk depth that builds as you chew. Pronounced but not aggressive.
Long, savory finish that lingers with a salty, slightly sweet pull. The aged sheep's milk note sticks around well past the swallow.
Most of the fresh milk has cooked off with age, but there's still a faint buttery sheep note underneath the savory pull.
Toasted hazelnut and browned butter through the middle, the kind of nuttiness that comes from real time in the cave.
A gentle lanolin and hay note from the sheep's milk, sitting under the nuttier notes without taking over.
A light salty bite on the back of the palate, nothing approaching piccante. The age brings depth, not heat.
Natural rind
Golden natural rind, not waxed or oiled. Trim it off or leave a sliver on for an extra savory edge.
Pecorino di Amatrice stands on its own, but the right partners turn a wedge into a moment. Regional pairings first — they were built for each other.
Central Italian reds with bright acidity cut through the richness of an aged sheep's milk cheese. Frascati works for a lighter, regional white pairing.
The savory depth wants something with a touch of sweetness to balance the salt. Honey and fig jam are the classic Italian counterweight.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
