The robust tradition of Sardinian Pecorino

Pecorino Su Sardu is a beautiful reflection of the rugged and sun-drenched island of Sardinia. For thousands of years, the sheep have grazed freely on the vast hills, where they feed on local herbs. This diet gives the sheep's milk its unique, full and spicy flavor. Characteristic of the Su Sardu is not only the striking, deep dark (black) rind, but also the firm, compact and slightly crumbly texture of the pale yellow dairy. This cheese is prepared according to centuries-old techniques, where passion and craftsmanship are central.

The taste of Pecorino Su Sardu is intense, savory and contains that typical light, salty touch for which good pecorino is known. Delicious to enjoy pure on a cheese board in combination with grapes, figs or walnuts. In addition, it is an absolute powerhouse in the kitchen. Grate it generously over pasta dishes, use it in a classic pesto, or shave curls over a fresh salad for a sturdy and salty umami kick.

At GoudaCheeseShop.com we stand for absolute freshness and top quality. Only when we receive your order, do we cut your piece of Pecorino accurately and freshly. Immediately after portioning, we pack your cheese tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pecorino Su Sardu

Where exactly does Pecorino Su Sardu come from?

This cheese originally comes from the Italian island of Sardinia. The word 'Pecora' means sheep in Italian. Sardinia is known worldwide for its excellent sheep's cheeses, partly thanks to the free grazing and the rich herbaceous diet of the animals.

Why is the rind of this cheese so dark?

The dark, almost black rind is very characteristic of many Sardinian sheep's cheeses. To protect the rind during maturation and give it its typical appearance, it is treated with coloring (E153, vegetable carbon) and preservative. Please note: the rind is therefore not edible.

Is this Pecorino very spicy in taste?

The cheese is mainly firm and savory, with a slightly spicy and salty bite. It is a cheese with character, but because it is made from pasteurized milk it is very accessible and appeals to a wide audience.

How can I best store this cheese?

As long as the cheese is in our vacuum packaging, you can store it in the refrigerator for weeks (at approx. 4-7 degrees). After opening, it is best to wrap it tightly in cheese paper or cling film; this way the cheese stays wonderfully fresh for another 1 to 2 weeks.

What wine and snacks go well with Pecorino Su Sardu?

This cheese loves robust combinations. Think of olives, sun-dried tomatoes, figs and raw ham. In terms of drinks, a full, robust red wine (for example a Chianti or a local Cannonau from Sardinia) is an absolute must. Discover more delicious cheeses in our Pecorino category.
