I believe Locatelli is the family name of Pecorino Romano Cheese...there are many types of hard grating cheeses on the market... My tastes always migrates back to this cheese, they have been producing fine sheep's milk cheeses for over 500 years. Thats the history lesson for today..LOL and no I do not receive any endorsement money for using there products...
