January 1, 2010, Newsletter Issue #246: Fiore Sardo - pecorino sardo

Tip of the Week

Fiore Sardo is also known as pecorino sardo and comes from Sardinia but also may be found in Latium and Campagna. It is made from sheep's milk and has a fat content of about 45%. Fiore sardo comes in small cylindrical wheels with convex rims about 8 inches in diameter and almost 6 inches high. It has a delicate, nutty flavor when young and can be eaten but it develops a much more distinctive sharper taste as it is aged…used mainly for grating. It is similar to the other pecorinos such as romano.
