Indulge in the rich, earthy taste of Pecorino Sardo, an authentic Italian cheese made from sheep's milk in Sardinia. This semi-hard cheese boasts a complex, slightly tangy flavour, making it ideal for serving on cheese boards, grating over pasta, or enhancing your favourite recipes with a touch of Sardinian tradition. Sardinia has gifted us with one of the most exquisite cheeses in the world. Made from sheep’s milk, Pecorino Sardo is a semi-hard and semi-cooked sweet cheese. It has grainy crystals with a nuttier and milder flavour of spices. The cheese gets its delicate flavour from the herbs and grasses of the Mediterranean isle of Sardinia that the Sarda sheep feed on. Hints of lemon and thyme accessorise the sweet and creamy taste of Pecorino. Depending on the ageing period, Pecorino tastes either salty and mild or sharp and nutty. Pecorino Sardo is ideal for antipasto, baked dishes, frittatas, and soups. Mature Pecorino goes well with red wine. Show more
