Pecorino Sardo Cheese is a firm sheep's milk cheese from Sardinia. Pecorino Sardo is richer and less biting and salty than its more famous ewe's milk cheese cousin, Pecorino Romano. Pecorino Sardo can be used in the same way as Parmesan on pasta and risotto, flaked onto salads or eaten as it is. After a brief period in brine, the moulds are lightly smoked and left to ripen in cool cellars in central Sardinia. Pecorino Sardo has a lovely depth of flavour.

I bought this Pecorino Sardo cheese partly as a homage to my Sardinian dad, and also because I wanted to make cheese wheel pasta. It was not difficult to remove the top of the cheese. The cheese is very tasty, I'm already a fan, having sampled it many times in the past. It's a lovely grating cheese, which I've used for pasta dishes as well as risotto. I would definitely buy it again !
