My botty best at summarizing from Wikipedia: pecorino cheeses are hard Italian cheeses made from sheep’s milk . the name “pecorin” simply means “ovine” or “of sheep” in italian . ancient roman authors wrote about this cheese and the larvae of the cheese fly are intentionally introduced into pecorino sardo to produce a local delicacy called casu marzu . in Sardinia, larvae are deliberately introduced into the region to Pecorino is also often used to finish pasta dishes, and used to be the natural choice for most Italian regions from Umbria down to Sicily . it is still preferred today for the pasta dishes of Rome and Lazio
