From Sardenia, great for grating, won't stick to the dish. Pecorino Romano is salty and firm; and works well as an ingredient because it doesn't melt into strings when it's cooked. In its milder renditions it's also a nice addition to a cheese platter or with fruit, especially pears, while a chunk with a piece of crusty bread and a glass of red wine is a wonderful snack to enjoy for yourself or serve at a get together.
