Grand Formaggio Di Pecora Sardo
This is a Sardinian pecorino cheese, cooked, coagulated with calf rennet. The flavour highlights the scent of the Mediterranean pastures on which they feed the sheep. Was established with the intent to use all substances present in milk, essential for our body, thus improving the nutritional aspect and in particular, one linked to the digestibility of fat and milk protein. During his long ripening occurs a strong proteolysis and lipolysis: both proteins that fats are broken down into smaller organic molecules, making the product easy assimilation by the body and easier to digest. In addition to the low salt content and the large content of calcium lactate, it is recommended in any diet food, as in that of hypertensive, but also to strengthen the skeletal system and prevent osteoporosis.

Morbidi Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.
