Exploring the Flavorful Journey: Savoring Pecorino Romano PDO in Three Distinct Cities
In a series of exciting dining events, Pecorino Romano PDO, the traditional European cheese made from sheep milk, has been taking the culinary world by storm. This robust cheese, protected under European Union law with PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status, has been seamlessly blended into unique takes on traditional cuisine at various establishments across the United States.
Our journey began in Miami, where Edible South Florida highly recommended Macchialina. Executive Chef Michael Pirolo and Sous Chef Trevor Zwaan elevated the dinner experience with a carefully chosen wine pairing, and Pecorino Romano PDO was the star of the show. The menu featured a variety of dishes, including gigante beans in brodo with escarole, Pecorino Romano PDO, and croutons, insalata tricolore topped with the cheese, pistachio, and preserved lemon vinaigrette, and Costolette D'Agnello: lamb chops, baked eggplant, basil, and Pecorino Romano PDO fonduta. Pecorino Romano PDO brought the beans and escarole dish to a new level, according to Executive Chef Michael Pirolo. The grand finale at Macchialina featured Pecorino Romano PDO gelato and amaro, the perfect ending to a truly exceptional meal.
Next, we headed to Poeta in Austin, Texas. The Pecorino Romano PDO-packed menu was designed by Chefs Ian Thurwachter and Krystal Craig of Intero. The guests couldn't stop raving about the bold, balanced combinations that perfectly showcased the cheese's versatility. The menu included lamb ragu with dates and Pecorino Romano PDO crema, milk-braised pork with walnut salsa verde and Pecorino Romano PDO frico, and honey cake with Pecorino Romano PDO gelato. The cheese was also seamlessly blended into the chefs' unique takes on traditional cuisine, elevating the dining experience.
Pecorino Romano PDO has made a big impact at Tasting Collective dinners in cities such as Brooklyn, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin, and Miami. At a recent event in Los Angeles, Chef Amanda Lanza prepared a Pecorino Romano PDO feast, featuring seafood-forward courses. The cheese's robust flavor profile, which combines saltiness, nuttiness, and tang, made it the perfect complement to a wide range of foods.
Pecorino Romano PDO has a rich history, first produced during the Roman Empire. Its production has remained remarkably consistent with traditional techniques passed down through generations. The depth of flavor in Pecorino Romano PDO arises from its age, production method, and the richness of sheep milk. This intense umami that rivals other savory staples like MSG and wild mushrooms has made it a favourite among chefs and food enthusiasts alike.
As the Tour of Pecorino Romano PDO continues, the next location where the cheese should take centre stage is Sardinia, Italy. With its rich culinary tradition and love for cheese, Sardinia is the perfect place to experience Pecorino Romano PDO in its homeland. Whether you're a cheese lover or simply looking for a unique dining experience, the Tour of Pecorino Romano PDO is not to be missed.
