Amatrice Pistachio Pecorino Cheese, 14.1 oz

Imagine the crumbly, sharp bite you know and love, suddenly studded with buttery, toasted pistachios that swoop in to soften the blow with a nutty crunch. It is savory, slightly sweet, unapologetically rich, and dangerously snackable.

Eating it feels like an Italian romance novel—full of drama, depth, and a surprisingly nutty twist at the end. Grate it over pasta if you must, but honestly? It deserves to be eaten straight off the block while standing in front of the fridge in your pajamas. Pair it with a bold red wine or a drizzle of hot honey and prepare to question everything you thought you knew about cheese.

Drink Pairings

• Bold Red Wines: A robust Chianti Classico, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, or a structured Brunello di Montalcino cut through the cheese's rich sheep's milk fat.
• Crisp White Wines: A dry, mineral-driven Vermentino or Fiano provides a refreshing contrast to the buttery pistachio crunch.
• Craft Beer: A dark, malty Brown Ale or a nutty Brown Porter mirrors and amplifies the roasted pistachio notes.

Accompaniments

• Hot Honey or Fig Jam: The sweetness of honey or fruit preserves balances the sharp, salty punch of the Pecorino.
• Cured Meats: Pair with Prosciutto di Parma or Spianata Calabra(spicy salami) for a stellar antipasto board.
• Fresh Fruit: Crisp green apples or ripe figs offer a juicy, tart contrast to the dense, crumbly cheese.
