Myrtle Pecorino is a distinctive and aromatic Italian cheese made from sheep’s milk, infused with the unique flavours of myrtle, a Mediterranean herb. This cheese is particularly associated with the island of Sardinia, where myrtle grows abundantly and is a traditional component in local cuisine.

The cheese has a semi-hard to firm texture, depending on its age, with a pale ivory interior. What sets Myrtle Pecorino apart is its ageing process, during which the cheese is wrapped in myrtle leaves. These leaves impart their earthy, herbal, and slightly sweet flavour to the cheese, creating a complex and fragrant profile that beautifully complements the rich, tangy, and slightly salty taste of the Pecorino.

The rind of Myrtle Pecorino is often marked by the leaves, giving it a rustic appearance. The combination of the robust, creamy Pecorino and the aromatic myrtle makes this cheese a unique sensory experience.

Myrtle Pecorino is enjoyed on its own, paired with honey or fresh fruit, or served alongside cured meats. It’s also an excellent addition to cheese boards or grated over dishes where its herbal notes can enhance the overall flavor.
