The oldest pecorino cheese in Sardinia, dating back to the Bronze Age. The production takes place entirely on the island and involves the processing of raw sheep's milk. The DOP quality is guaranteed by the Consortium of Tutelage through the presence of the stamp on the cheese. Each stamp is unique and bears a progressive number with which you can trace the producer and the date of production. The minimum maturation period is about 3 months, which gives the cheese a hard paste and a strong and spicy aroma. It is recommended to taste it at the end of the meal, accompanied by sweet flavours such as persimmons, white grapes and fig jam.
Wine recommended in combination: Cannonau di Sardegna.
Aged cheese with a minimum aging of 60 days.
The paste is compact, white, and tends to a straw-yellow color as it matures.
Excellent when enjoyed with pane carasau, and truly shines when grilled or baked.
Recommended wine pairing: Cannonau di Sardegna D.O.C.
