Pecorino Sardo ca. 150g

Pecorino cheese made from pure sheep's milk has a long tradition in Italy. Almost every region can point to typical varieties. ÖMA Pecorino Stagionato, for example, is a culinary representative of Sardinia. Made from 100% of the best silage-free organic sheep's milk, the hard cheese must mature for at least 3 months until it has developed its mild taste, which becomes finely acidic and spicy as it matures. Our tip for pecorino salad: thinly sliced pecorino, a little salt, fresh pepper, white balsamic vinegar, olive oil and finely chopped spring onions. In 1992, we started the first organic pecorino project in Sardinia with our Italian partners. The landscape is characterized by barren mountains and green hills, criss-crossed by streams. Here the sheep graze on lush meadows that give their milk its Sardinian flavor. The milk is processed into organic cheese of the highest quality using traditional Sardinian recipes and production techniques. The cheese-making trade has a long tradition in Sardinia. There is evidence that the first Sardinian cheeses were made as early as the 18th century, mainly from goat's milk. Today, pecorino is one of the most popular sheep's milk cheeses.
