Does Pecorino Cheese Melt?

Pecorino adds a delightful touch to various dishes, but it is not well-known for its melting properties. 

Due to its low moisture content and high-fat content, pecorino cheese does not melt in the same way as cheeses like Mozzarella or Cheddar. Instead of melting into a gooey consistency, pecorino cheese tends to soften slightly and retain its shape when heated. This makes it a perfect choice for grating or shaving over pasta, salads, and other dishes that benefit from its distinct flavor and texture.
