Among the many excellent products made in Italy, Pecorino Romano stands out for its culinary identity but also for its history, whose origins date back more than 2000 years.
In this video we take you to Sardinia, specifically to Macomer, the headquarters of the Consortium of Pecorino Romano and land of production and protection of this delicious product, where we are welcomed by President Gianni Maoddi who explains why the production of Pecorino Romano takes place in Sardinian territory.
