Pecorino Toscano

Pecorino toscano is a firm-textured ewe's milk cheese originating in the Tuscany region of Italy. Since 1996 it has enjoyed protected designation of origin (PDO) status. Pliny the Elder, in his major encyclopaedic work Naturalis Historia, describes several stages in the production of pecorino toscano, which he names as Lunense, apparently after the territory of Lunigiana. Other early names of the cheese include marzolino, after the month of March (marzo in Italian) in which production traditionally began.
