Red pecorino is a red Sicilian cheese which was originally developed in Sicily, Italy. In Italian, it is referred to as "picurinu rusu". Red pecorino is made from sheep's milk and Sicilian folate pastes in a technique known as pasta filata which is used in the manufacture of a family of Italian cheeses also known as stretched-curd, pulled-curd, and plastic-curd.
The production of red pecorino is officially recognized and included in the list of food products of traditional Italian cuisine (A.P.T), the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry. In Italian regions such as Tuscany and Sardinia, other cheeses are called by their original name.
