1 cup finely grated
sheeps milk pecorino (or other
hard cheese like parmesan, etc if lactose isn't a problem)
Pecorino is a
hard cheese made from
sheep milk.
Even if people are severely lactose intolerant, the lactose will have been converted into lactic acid if they take their
sheep milk in the form of yoghurt and much of the lactose goes out with the whey in
hard cheese making.

The resulting
cheese depends on a number of factors including the balance of fat, protein and milk sugars in the milk which varies by animal (e.g.
sheep milk is about 9 % fat and 5 % protein, whereas cow's milk has about 4 % fat and 3 % protein), the bacteria used, how the curds are processed, how long the
cheese is kept before eating and how much water is left in the
cheese (soft
cheese contains over 45 % water,
hard / semi-
hard cheeses contain 30 - 45 % water, and dry
hard cheeses such as Parmesan have less than 30 % moisture content).
