Pecorino Oro Antico
$24.99/LBWith even a remedial knowledge of Italian, you've probably figured out on your own that this means ''Old Gold Sheep Cheese.'' Yup, it's pasteurized, aged for 6 months, and ''Gold'' refers not only to its color, but to its excellence. Firm and flaky, it has the beloved aged sheep cheese flavors: sheepy, nutty, and grassy. Precious. Read More -

Cacio di Roma
$15.99/LBYes, it's a sheep's milk cheese; and yes, it's from the Roman countryside. Cacio di Roma, however, is a far cry from Pecorino Romano. Smaller, younger & softer, it's just as much of a kitchen workhorse as its hulking cousin. Use it when you're looking for smooth richness & a hint of fruit, instead of gamy, salty intensity. Melts smoothly & deliciously into sauces, pizzas, focaccia, crostini; you name it, a layer of melted Cacio di Roma is likely to make it better. Read More -

Grana Padano
$19.99/LBRough handling makes tasty Italian cheese: from two milkings comes raw cow milk that is partially skimmed, cooked twice, and bathed in brine before aging for at least a year. All that attention makes a fragrant, sweet, and nutty cheese with a very firm texture. It's not Parmigiano - similar, but not exactly the same - but like its cousin, you can use it for grating, cooking, and as a fine table cheese. Read More
