Locatella Cheese

Wrap tightly in cheese paper or parchment paper, then place in a plastic bag or airtight container. For longer storage, consider freezing, though texture may change upon thawing.

Grate Locatella cheese finely for best distribution over dishes.

Allow the cheese to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.

Use a microplane for the finest grating, which melts beautifully into sauces.

Pasta dishes (especially Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Alfredo)

Risotto

Soups (like Minestrone or French Onion)

Salads (Caesar salad is a classic)

Roasted vegetables

Crusty bread

Using pre-shredded cheese: it often contains anti-caking agents that can affect melting and flavor.

Storing improperly: this can lead to drying out or spoilage.
