Pecorino Sardo

A nutty tangy delicious cheese. This was first to go out of the assortment I ordered. Good on a board with grapes and meats, good grated on toast. Great all rounder.

Pecorino Sardo

I love this cheese but it arrived in 3 small pieces rather than 1 large one making it more difficult to grate. Maybe a small issue and it won't stop me from buying it in the fuue.

This is my favourite cheese. I am addicted to it. Have some almost every day, sliced on to toast. It is a hard cheese in texture. Superb, superb, superb. Been buying since spring 2025, regularly.

Pecorino Sardo

I've never been a great fan of pecorino but that's all changed now. It's so nice to be able to have this,, parmesan and grano pradano in the fridge at the same time. The subtle, or not so subtle differences enables you to nuance dishes. The slightly sharper taste of the pecorino is just right for fuller flavoured pasta dishes.

Pecorino Sardo

Indulge in the rich, earthy taste of Pecorino Sardo, an authentic Italian cheese made from sheep's milk in Sardinia. This semi-hard cheese boasts a complex, slightly tangy flavour, making it ideal for serving on cheese boards, grating over pasta, or enhancing your favourite recipes with a touch of Sardinian tradition.

Sardinia has gifted us with one of the most exquisite cheeses in the world. Made from sheep’s milk, Pecorino Sardo is a semi-hard and semi-cooked sweet cheese. It has grainy crystals with a nuttier and milder flavour of spices. The cheese gets its delicate flavour from the herbs and grasses of the Mediterranean isle of Sardinia that the Sarda sheep feed on.

Hints of lemon and thyme accessorise the sweet and creamy taste of Pecorino. Depending on the ageing period, Pecorino tastes either salty and mild or sharp and nutty. Pecorino Sardo is ideal for antipasto, baked dishes, frittatas, and soups. Mature Pecorino goes well with red wine.

How to enjoy

The nutty aroma of Pecorino Sardo enhances the tastes of Sicilian dishes. It is a table cheese that is a staple in every Sicilian home. Being hard and firm, it is perfect for grating. You can grate it over pasta dishes like cacio e pepe or pasta alla gricia. It also goes well with salads and vegetable soups. It can be eaten in an antipasto to appreciate the flavour.

When eating alone, pair it with Italian red wine. For enhancing your gastronomic pleasure, have a plate of olives with it. Pecorino Sardo is used in authentic dishes like saffron risotto. It makes quiches taste better. End your meals on a grand scale with a plate of pecorino served along with nuts, fresh fruit, and honey.

Origin

Pecorino originated on the island of Sardinia in Italy. It is a firm cheese made from sheep’s milk and lamb rennet. According to historians, Sicilians started making this cheese around 2000 years back.

Sicilians are crazy about their cheese and put it in almost dishes. Pecorino Sardo is the traditional cheese of Sardinia that is protected under EU rules by a Denomination of Protected Origin. The cheese is produced from the milk of the same flock of Sardinian sheep.
