Locatelli is a very good maker of pecorino romano; it is widely available at Italian specialty shops. Whole Foods does not carry it, for reasons obscure, but you will be able to find it at many places. I'm not near the northshore but here in the city, these places all carry it, I believe:
Graziano's
Conte di Savoia
Bari
Joseph's
Riviera
Probably also Panozzo's (I haven't checked)
Also: Freddy's in Cicero, the Caputo groceries in the west and northwestern suburbs...Und so weiter und so fort....
I wouldn't be surprised if, for example, Treasure Island grocery stores carry it, but I can't remember for sure... All in all, it's not hard to find...

If Caputo's has it, then very likely the new Caputo's in Lake Forest will have it, too.

Post #6 - January 20th, 2010, 11:50 amThe Fresh Market carries Locatelli romano. Side note: Locatelli finally took off recently in my TFM...seems the same customers who can't discern 6 80 lb wheels of parmigiano-reggiano stacked on an end cap("where's the grated parmesan?" ad nauseum) also can't read beyond the word "Locatelli" to discern the descriptor, "pecorino romano." Oy veh.Being gauche rocks, stun the bourgeoisie

Post #9 - January 21st, 2010, 5:41 pmThanks, got it last night at the TFM in Wilmette. Didn't expect it to be quite so expensive but it is quite tasty. I'm going to do a taste test comparing it to the parm/reg from Costco this weekend!
