I believe pecorino cheese is safe to eat. I googled when I was in the states (they seem to like it over there).

Yes that's a hard cheese isn't it like Parmesan. They're fine it's just the blue cheeses and soft cheeses like Brie and goats that need to be avoided uncooked x

Beware, I bought some hard pecorino romano cheese as an alternative to parmasan and ate some and only afterwards noticed on the pack it said 'unpasterised' and gave a warning.
