The dominant flavors are sharp, salty Pecorino Romano cheese and pungent black pepper, balanced by the savory dough.
The richness comes from the Pecorino Romano, a sheep's milk cheese with a strong, assertive flavor. Freshly cracked black pepper provides warmth and spice. The fried dough, typically made with flour, water, and yeast (or baking powder), offers a neutral base for these intense flavors, while the frying process contributes a satisfying crispy texture.
Función Premium
Cheese Quality
Use high-quality Pecorino Romano cheese for the best flavor. Pre-grated cheese often lacks the same intensity and freshness.
Pepper Freshness
Freshly cracked black pepper is crucial. The aroma and flavor diminish quickly after grinding, so grind it just before adding it to the dish.
Dough Consistency
The dough should be soft and slightly sticky. If it's too dry, the frittelle will be tough. If it's too wet, they will absorb too much oil during frying.
Frying Temperature
Maintain a consistent oil temperature (around 350°F/175°C) for even cooking. Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature and result in soggy frittelle.
