Flavour Analysis

Pecorino Romano begins with a vivid impression of powerful salty character, before lamb, parmesan and rancio emerge underneath. A kombu dashi note brings distinct savoury richness, with an animal fat note setting unctuous richness alongside it, and oleic acid and walnut notes give the profile a rounded, lingering character.
