How to Store Pecorino con Pistacchio

Short-Term Storage (1–2 weeks) = Wrap the cheese in wax paper, parchment, or cheese paper. Then loosely wrap that in plastic wrap or place it in a partially sealed container. This prevents drying while still letting the cheese breathe. Store in the vegetable drawer or a dedicated cheese drawer at 38–42°F (3–5°C).

Medium-Term Storage (2–4 weeks) = Check the cheese once per week. If the paper becomes damp or oily, rewrap with fresh paper. Surface mold is not unusual—simply trim it off, about ⅛ inch around the spot.

Freezing (if necessary, but not ideal) = Pecorino can be frozen, though texture becomes more crumbly. Wrap tightly in double plastic wrap, then place in a freezer bag. Best used afterward for cooking rather than serving on a board.

Serving After Storage = Remove from the refrigerator 30–45 minutes before serving. Let it come to room temperature to restore aroma, flavor, and the pistachio sweetness.
