Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty Italian cheese, often used for grating, made with sheep’s milk. The name “pecorino” simply means “ovine” or “of sheep” in Italian.
You can use garlic-infused olive oil in stead of using fresh garlic for a more delicate flavor. Furthermore you can leave out the garlic, but the taste do change drastically. It is all up to you and your personal preference. Improvise, try and experiment until you find the one you love.
