Raw ewe milk from the evening and morning milkings is set at 35 °C in 30–40 minutes with calf rennet, sometimes lamb paste. The curd is broken to maize or millet size and semi-cooked at 43–46 °C, then shaped under the whey into a long cylinder, cut, wrapped in cloth and pressed 5–6 hours. After about 24 hours in brine it ripens in cool cellars, from 60 days to a year.
Total time across the recorded steps: 2 months – 12 months

Raw ewe milk from the evening and morning milkings is set at 35 °C in 30–40 minutes with calf rennet, sometimes lamb paste. The curd is broken to maize or millet size and semi-cooked at 43–46 °C, then shaped under the whey into a long cylinder, cut, wrapped in cloth and pressed 5–6 hours. After about 24 hours in brine it ripens in cool cellars, from 60 days to a year. Made in 7 steps over 2 months – 12 months. The longest step, ripen in cool cellars, takes 2–12 months (ONAF (national organisation of cheese tasters)).
Smaller and taller than Pecorino Sardo, with a thin sharp edge. The curd is cooked (its local name means cheese made with fire) and machine-pressed, which keeps the paste supple even after long ageing.
Shape
Tall cylinder 14–22 cm across and 9–13 cm high, with a thin, almost sharp edge
Season
Made all year except August, when the ewes are dry
A raw-milk cheese. The ONAF sheet gives 60 days as the minimum, though some is sold younger, and the rind is washed and oiled against moulds and mites. In a challenge study, E. coli O157 added to raw ewe milk was still detectable in pecorino after 90 days of ripening, so ripening alone is no guarantee. ANSES, the French food safety agency, says Listeria and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli in raw-milk cheeses can kill, and advises pregnant women, people with weak immunity, people over 65 and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses other than pressed cooked ones such as Gruyère or Comté. Its page does not say whether a semi-cooked cheese like this one counts. It says cheese cooked well, as in an oven recipe, no longer poses a risk.
Hazards the sources name: Escherichia coli O157, added to raw and thermised ewe milk in a challenge study of pecorino made by other recipes; it was still detectable after 90 days of ripening.
In 1913 Canon Francesco Liberi Tolu praised the cheese, noting that its cooked curd made it tastier and hardier. The whey also makes ricotta mustìa, a lightly smoked ricotta.
