The pure taste of the Italian island
Pecorino Sardo is one of the most highly regarded cheeses from Sardinia. The word 'Pecora' means sheep in Italian, indicating that this cheese is made entirely from sheep's milk. The addition 'Maturo' means that this specific cheese has been matured for an extra long time. This longer ripening process provides a firm, slightly grainy structure and a distinct, robust and slightly spicy taste. The cheese has also been awarded the prestigious DOP quality mark, which guarantees that the cheese is authentic and produced exclusively on Sardinia using traditional methods.
Because of its intense and spicy flavor profile, the Pecorino Sardo Maturo is incredibly versatile. It is fantastic to grate fresh over authentic pasta dishes, risotto or soups. The cheese gives a delicious, salty and spicy kick to all your meals. But also cold, cut into cubes on an extensive cheese board, it is an absolute standout. Serve the cheese with a robust red wine or a sweet fig compote for a perfect flavor balance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pecorino Sardo DOP Maturo
What is the difference with Pecorino Romano?
Pecorino Sardo is exclusively made on the island of Sardinia and is generally slightly softer, richer and more complex in flavor than the often very salty and sharp Pecorino Romano from the mainland.
Is this cheese made from raw milk?
No, unlike some other pecorino cheeses, this Pecorino Sardo DOP Maturo is prepared with pasteurized sheep's milk. This makes the cheese completely safe to eat for pregnant women.
How can I best store this cheese?
In the unopened vacuum packaging, the cheese can be kept in the refrigerator for weeks. After opening, we advise wrapping the cheese well in special cheese paper and consuming it within one to two weeks.
