Aged D.O.P. guaranteed Pecorino Toscano sheep’s milk cheese is made according to the same exacting standards as the less-mature ''fresco'' version. The extra aging produces a firmer pecorino with greater complexity and richer flavor. (''Stagionato'' means aged.) Nutty, hearty, but not overly sharp tasting, this is a wonderful table cheese that pairs well with big Tuscan red wines. It is also great included in an antipasto spread, or shaved on salads. Sprinkle it with a little freshly-ground black pepper and drizzle with chestnut honey for an unusual dessert. A perishable product, Pecorino Toscano may require 2nd day shipping, depending on distance.
