Start with the maker
The name of the farm is a useful starting point when choosing Pecorino di Atri. La Collina di Mariù describes making it with milk from its own sheep; the Calanchi di Atri reserve’s producer directory records an aged example from D’Amario and Feliciani. Ask who made the wheel and how long it was matured. These examples describe individual farms, rather than one shared recipe.
