    other vegetable rennet, Vegetable coagulant (also often incorrectly called “vegetable rennet”) is the latex produced by the green parts of the fig tree or by the wild thistle. In Virgil's works, we discover that pecorino was also the basis of the diet of Roman legionaries. A daily ration of 27 grams, ( one ounce circa) to be added to bread and spelt soup, guaranteed the right caloric intake to recover energy in view of battle.This "legionary" cheese ^^ was salty and very hard to facilitate transport and conservation , There are many degrees of maturing of pecorino , tuma, primo sale, secondo sale , seasoned (< more than 60 days)
