I had a great time with Jay Buchsbaum and Naomi Nachman on Table for Two with Naomi Nachman. We discussed my passion for cheese, some of my artisan cheese products and expanding their repertoire of Kosher cheese. Listen to the full show which aired at 9am on May 3, 2013.

About Pecorino Romano

TheCheeseGuy — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:29:00 +0000

Pecorino romano is a sheep milk cheese. Sheep produce a lot less milk than cows or goats, so it can take up to a week for the sheep to produce enough milk for a production. In order for the product to be certified Chalav Yisrael (CY), we send mashgichim (supervisors) from different parts of Italy to the individual farms in the countryside to watch the milking process. The local farmers, who have likely never met a Jewish person before, are convinced that these observers are government officials and are difficult to convince otherwise. They eventually come to understand and are extremely hospitable. Once the milk is ready, the mashgiach must follow the milk tankers to the actual creamery/production facility to make sure that it arrives in good shape and that there is no switching of milk. After the product is aged in Italy for a year, I then age the product for an additional year in my ageing facility in New York. The product ages into a hard parmesan style, 2-3 year aged, sharp grating cheese, unlike anything seen in the kosher market before.

Traceability and Kosher Cheese Production

TheCheeseGuy — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:16:30 +0000

The production of Kosher cheese, in accordance with Jewish law, requires extensive cleaning, boiling and sanitization of the cheese making equipment, vats and utensils. In the case of a Chalav Yisrael product, the milk must be supervised from the time the animal is milked until the time of production. Interestingly enough, the concept of this age-old custom is becoming universalized in a movement called Traceability, which has already been made a legal requirement in some parts of the world, such as the European Union.

My pecorino romano is made on the island of Sardinia and is a certified DOP cheese – meaning the origin and production methods of this particular cheese are certified authentic and are produced with milk from the specific animal breed and region. This cheese offers the ultimate in traceability as someone is constantly watching and knowing where the milk and then cheese is – “From Farm to Fork”. Interesting how an ancient tradition and a new food trend come together!
