Moretum is an herb cheese spread that the Ancient Romans ate with bread.

[1] A typical moretum was made of herbs, fresh cheese, salt, oil, and vinegar.

A recipe can be found in the poem of the same name in the Appendix Vergiliana.

[2] De re rustica, book XII of Columella contains further recipes for moretum.

The variant with pine nuts is considered to be a precursor of pesto.
