Fiore Sardo

Produced only on the Italian island of Sardinia, where the traditions of sheep farming and cheesemaking can be traced back to 1000 BCE, Fiore Sardo is a hard cheese made from whole sheep’s milk from local breeds.

After six months of aging, Fiore Sardo develops its distinctive pungent aroma and a rich, piquant flavor with pronounced notes of caramel sweetness. The younger Fiore Sardo is most often consumed as a table cheese and pairs well with fruity wines, while matured versions are typically used for grating over a number of traditional dishes such as culurgiones, a type of Sardinian ravioli.
