Pecorino Romano originated in Ancient Rome and ranks among the world’s oldest cheeses. Most modern production of Pecorino Romano no longer occurs in Lazio, despite the cheese’s original territory. I Buonatavola remains one of the very last producers in Lazio still making Pecorino Romano by traditional methods. Rising global demand, led by the United States, incentivized relocation of production to regions better suited for large-scale output. Pecorino Romano produced in Lazio shows differences in techniques, aging, and flavor compared with versions made elsewhere. Export markets have provided vital revenue that helped preserve small historic producers in Lazio.
