About Pecorino sardo

Pecorino Sardo is a traditional Italian cheese originating from Sardinia, crafted from 100% sheep's milk. Known for its firm texture and rich, tangy flavor, this cheese is aged to develop a range of taste profiles—from mild and creamy in its younger form to sharp and crumbly when matured. Pecorino Sardo is high in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance, but it's also rich in saturated fats and sodium, so moderation is advised for those monitoring heart health or blood pressure. This versatile cheese is a staple in Sardinian and Mediterranean cuisines, often grated over pasta, enjoyed with bread, or paired with honey and fruits. While its robust nutritional content provides energy and essential nutrients, careful portioning helps balance its indulgent qualities within a healthy diet.
