There are some that would say a 3-month cave-aged Teramano pecorino doesn’t need added adornment, texture or a tantalising contrast, but there are firm believers that a cheese should never be served alone.
Great cheese especially Abruzzo pecorino has a richness that allows for all manner of bitter, sweet and fruity pairings which bolster it from a simple piece of superb cheese to something magical that lingers.
Thanks to Chef Mirko Carpitella for B&B Scacciapensieri for such an inspired assortment for breakfast!
Pecorino Paired With:
- Tropea Red Onions
- Genziana
- Peperoncino
- Ascolana Olive Oil
- Montepulciano d’Abruzzo conserve
- Orange Flower Honey
