Product Insights
Sugo Cacio e Pepe is an Italian cheese‑and‑pepper pasta sauce made with Pecorino Romano, water, powdered cream, sugar and corn starch, and it is certified gluten‑free. It falls under the "Fat and sauces" and "Dressings and sauces" groups, carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified as NOVA group 4, reflecting very high levels of fat (31 g), saturated fat (14 g) and salt (2.7 g) per 100 g. While it provides 8.5 g of protein and authentic cheese flavor, the elevated fat, salt and the presence of the additive E270 make it a less healthy option for frequent consumption.
