Description
Organic seasoned pecorino cheese Fiore Sardo PDO is produced in Sardinia according to specific artisan processing techniques with ancient roots. It is a hard, raw, seasoned cheese, produced exclusively with whole fresh sheep milk, coagulated with lamb or kid rennet. The milk comes from Sardinian grazing sheep farms.
The paste is placed inside special moulds which shape it into the characteristic “mule’s back” shape. The pecorino cheese wheels are put in brine for a short period and then subjected to a light natural smoking. After this process, the wheels are left to seasoning. Fiore Sardo PDO is an excellent table cheese if used within the first two months of ripening and, with a ripening of over six months, an excellent pecorino cheese for grating.
DESCRIPTION
The rind of organic seasoned pecorino cheese Fiore Sardo PDO varies from yellow to dark brown. Its paste, with a variable spicy taste depending on the stage of ripening, is white or light yellow.
