Made with sheep's milk, it can also be aged with other milk, sheep, cow, .... which differs from the cow's milk, especially for the percentage of fat and casein: more than double, which for the purposes of cheese making configures a particularly rich milk.

Pecorino cheese is historically of Mediterranean origin but is also produced and spread elsewhere.

Sheep's milk, and therefore the tasty pecorino cheese dear to the Mediterranean diet, is an important preventive factor not only against cardiovascular diseases, but also against some particular types of cancer, especially those in the colon and breast.

The proteins of cow's milk are composed of 80% caseins and 20% of serum proteins.

Depending on the type of milk used and the type of skimming to which it is subjected varies the percentage of fat in the cheese. The cheeses are then differentiated into fat cheeses, semi-fat cheeses and lean cheeses. Some dieticians do not share these definitions, stating that no cheese can be considered thin because the percentage of fat is always at least 20% (except graukase, a very old cheese with sour curd produced in South Tyrol whose percentage of fats never exceeds 2%). The percentage of fat also varies according to the origin of the milk: the milk of buffalo and sheep are generally more fat than cow's milk.

Goat's cheeses are dairy products with a very marked taste, able to attract a large number of admirers. Goat's milk is in fact very appreciated for its innumerable organoleptic qualities, first of all the extraordinary similarity with the mother's milk. In fact, goat's milk has a high level of taurine, an amino acid that is also rich in milk with which the mother breastfeeds her child, and which performs many functions including antioxidant and osmoregulation.

Goat's milk has a high nutritional level, that is rich in nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus, excellent for the mineralization of bones and teeth, while proteins, together with fats, have a very simple molecular structure, which makes therefore the most digestible milk compared to the cow's milk. It is advisable to consume this type of milk and goat's cheese at all ages, but especially during growth and old age.
