Publication note

Published as a product profile: validated sources do not fully document ingredients and/or method details.

What it is

Pecorino from Laticauda sheep milk, sold fresh after two days, semi-aged after two months, or aged at least four months and up to twelve.

Origin place card

Mainly Avellino and Benevento; significant Caserta presence — Avellino / Benevento / Caserta. Use a territory-level page unless later fieldwork proves a narrower comune-only origin.

Verified history

Historical depth remains limited; the direct-read source supports identity/core product description but not deeper archival history.

Ingredients

Ingredients not fully documented in validated sources.

Method

Method/process not fully documented in validated sources.

Why travel for it

A sheep-breed page as much as a cheese page: the wide tail, the Fortore, clover and ageing.

Recreate-it pathway

Do not invent a home recipe. Build a future tested/kitchen note from producer interviews, safe temperatures, maturation limits and modern hygiene rules; for now publish source-backed process only.

Fieldwork questions

Document current Laticauda herds and how fresh/semi-aged/stagionato are sold.
