About the cheese
Pecorino Sardo is one of Italy’s most ancient and celebrated ewe’s milk cheeses, with origins thought to trace back to the Bronze Age. A true staple of Sardinian culinary tradition, it has been made for generations by local shepherds using time-honoured methods.
Firm and slightly crumbly, it offers a beautifully layered flavour – gently sweet at first, then developing a piquant edge with a lingering, savoury finish. Rich yet refined, it is a cheese that evolves on the palate.
Enjoy it simply in shards, with a full-bodied Italian red, or grated over pasta and hearty dishes for added depth and character.
