Cheese CoursePecorino cheese, with its distinct salty and tangy profile, demands beverages that can balance its intensity while complementing its rich sheep's milk character. The acidity in Italian wines like Sangiovese cuts through the cheese's fattiness, while the fruit-forward notes harmonize with Pecorino's nutty complexity. Effervescent beers like Saison provide palate-cleansing carbonation against the cheese's density.
