Pecorino sardo (Template:Langx; Template:Literally) is a firm cheese from Sardinia made from sheep milk, specifically from the milk of the local Sarda sheep.[1] It was awarded denominazione d'origine (DO) status in 1991 and granted protected designation of origin (PDO) protection in 1996, the year in which this European Union certification scheme was introduced.[2] There are two varieties: pecorino sardo dolce, aged for 20–60 days; and pecorino sardo maturo, which is aged more than 2 months.[3]
Pecorino sardo is an uncooked hard cheese, made from fresh whole sheep's milk curdled using calf's rennet. The mixture is salted and poured into moulds. The dolce weights 1.0-2.3 kilograms, while the maturo weighs 1.7-4.0 kilograms. The rind varies from deep yellow to dark brown in colour and encases a paste that varies from white to straw-yellow. The sharpness of the flavour depends on the length of maturation.[3]
