Marcello Says, "Don't forget to toss in the Locatelli!"

Locatelli Brand Ricotta Salata

LOCATELLI BRAND PECORINO ROMANO

Our favorite spokesperson, MARCELLO, known for his good taste and good sense presents a little history:

Pecorino Romano is one of the world's oldest cheeses, dating back to Roman times when it was made for the Caesars. It actually goes back to Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Locatelli Brand Pecorino Romano was first produced by the Locatelli family over 500 years ago. Unique in quality and uniformity, Locatelli is
made from the finest grade sheep's milk and aged at least nine months to develop its unique flavor and texture.

MARCELLO'S favorite cooking and grating cheese, can also be enjoyed as an excellent snacking experience.

Freshly grated Locatelli Brand Pecorino
Romano adds an exciting touch to soups, salads, eggs, vegetables, and especially to pasta.
It can definitely replace salt as a zesty flavor enhancer. Available in Pre-Cut wedges and freshly
grated and shredded cups, MARCELLO says,
"ALWAYS TOSS IN THE LOCATELLI".

LOCATELLI BRAND RICOTTA SALATA

This distinctive ricotta is called
" The Easter Cheese" of southern Italy.
Locatelli Brand Ricotta Salata can only be made
from the first sheep's milk whey in January and
February. Aged three months, the first Ricotta
Salata is ready for eating shortly before Easter each
spring. It is snowy-white with a creamy texture,
but acquires a more solid texture if aged beyond
five months.

Locatelli Brand Ricotta Salata is known in
Italy as a very healthy food, thanks to its high
protein content. It is delicious with pasta, antipasto
or in salads.
