Full Product Details
SKU: 731S
Pepato is a cheese whose history coincides with periods of blood and tears. Sicily, a crossroads between European, Mediterranean and African civilizations, has seen its fair share of turmoil. This cheese has survived over the centuries, despite long periods of drought that made it difficult to find sufficient grazing pastures, forcing the people of Sicily to choose between the production of wheat and dairy.
An aged, hard pecorino combined with whole black peppercorns, Pepato is matured for a minimum of 4 months to perfection. Like many of the world's classic cheeses, Pepato originated as a staple of the peasant's diet. Today, it is enjoyed by all people - rich and poor. With its characteristic spicy taste, Pepato is a tasty table cheese that is also perfect for grating. Grate it over soups, salads, and pastas. It is an exciting alternative to the more common pecorino!
- Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

How We Ship
FreshWave Packaging
Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.
For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
