Zabar’s NY – Pecorinos You May Not Know

March 26, 2010

Leah, Cheesemonger Extraordinary at Zabar’s New York, presents 4 Italian Pecorinos that are less known in this video: Pecorino Crotonese, a nutty, sweet pecorino that pairs well with olives; Toscano Stagionato, an aged pecorino from Tuscany and a table cheese favorite; Foglie di Noce, which is wrapped in ash and walnut leaves with an earthy complexion that is best served after sitting out for a couple of hours and Cacio di Bosco al Tarfuto, a pecorino with truffles added that works well as a table cheese and also as a flavor enhancer for dishes such as risotto:

Hats off to the good folks at Zabars and a special thanks for taking the time to educate us on many of your wonderful offerings at one of The Lady’s favorite food stops on the Upper West Side.
