You may never know. Many cheeses like that go through a consortium
where may makers all contribute. Pecorino is the type of cheese, made
from sheep's milk. Pecorino Romano is allowed only on the islands of
Sardinia, Lazio and in the Tuscan Province of Grosseto.

Pecorino never had black wax either. Ewes just can't tell very
easily.
