This is one of Sardinia's most traditional cheeses, made entirely from whole sheep's milk. It is a semi-cooked cheese and can be soft or hard. This cheese has received recognition in various ways: from its geographical recognition in 1991 under law D.P.C.M.. to later with regulation EEC n. 1263/96 it obtained its PDO brand from the EU. This cheese is currently produced in two variations: mature Pecorino Sardo and mild mild Pecorino Sardo which differ from each other in some technological characteristics. Weight varies from 1kg to 4kg, the drum is cylindrical with flat top and bottom and vertical sides. Its flavour is sweet and aromatic in the young cheese and pleasantly sharp in the more mature cheese.
