ladle Italy

...It is a pure sheep cheese with an oval shape and a weight of about 0.800 kg. In ancient times, it was produced only with spring milk, unlike now when it is available almost all year round. "The weight and the corresponding oval shape are said to be due to the transformation of this product almost at the end of the curdling process and placed directly on an oval-shaped ladle, as otherwise, the mixture would not have been enough to achieve the traditional scooped shape." Fresh Pecorino aged for about 15 days.
