0406.90.56.00/Pecorino Romano Sheep's Milk Cheese Loaf/Canada

Pecorino Romano Sheep's Milk Cheese Loaf from Canada

Authentic Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty sheep's milk cheese produced in large cylindrical loaves, aged for at least 8 months and characteristically grated over pasta dishes. It meets the criteria for HTS 0406.90.56.00 as it is made exclusively from sheep's milk, presented in its original loaf form, and specifically suitable for grating due to its granular texture. This classification distinguishes it from processed or non-grating sheep cheeses.
