Cacio e Pepe Sauce

A dish born out of necessity, a gastronomic treasure that has traveled far beyond the time and place of its origins. Cacio e pepe was created by shepherds from Lazio who traveled with their flocks during seasonal migrations. To endure the long, rugged journey, they needed staple ingredients that kept well over time, provided substantial energy, and helped ward off the mountain chill. Dried pasta, Pecorino Romano and black pepper proved to be the perfect combination, bringing together flavor and practicality. Today, this creamy sauce is the pride of Rome’s finest restaurants, and now, that very same authentic quality is ready to bring the warmth of the Eternal City straight to your table.
