Genuine Locatelli Brand Grated Pecorino Romano Cheese

Genuine Locatelli Brand Grated Pecorino Romano is presented as an imported, traditionally aged Italian cheese that lands in the refrigerated specialty cheese case alongside other hard Italian cheeses (Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged Asiago) and near grated Parmesan tubs, pasta, and jarred sauces. Shoppers reach for this 16 oz option when they want an Italian finishing cheese that’s convenient for weeknight pasta, pizza nights, or a tossed salad. The brand leans on heritage — “95 years of tradition,” “imported from Italy,” and “naturally aged 9 months” — positioning the product toward home cooks who value authenticity and culinary ritual but also want easy use. Labels emphasize natural cues rather than health trends: “100% Pasteurized Sheep’s Milk,” “Freshly grated,” and “Contains natural sea salt” create an artisanal, ‘real food’ halo, while no organic or non‑GMO certification is claimed and there’s no child‑oriented branding. In plain processing terms this is a traditionally made cheese that has been pasteurized, aged and grated for convenience. Sensory notes: a firm, granular crumbly texture that yields a dry, salty, tangy and nutty bite; aromatics are savory and sheep‑milk rich. Packaging is typically a resealable tub or shaker-style container for quick sprinkling, supporting the ritual of finishing bowls of pasta, grating over soups, or topping salads and roasted vegetables. It reads as a practical, slightly indulgent pantry staple for cooks who want an authentic Italian touch without the time or tools for block grating.
