Pecorino cheese made from raw whole milk, without ferments and with natural capping; lightly smoked with Mediterranean scrub woods
Taste with a strong character like the inhabitants of the characteristic town of Orgosolo, known for the authenticity of the products and the uncontaminated environment. The fresh vegetation all year round and blown in from the nearby sea is the secret of the unique taste of this traditional cheese.
When available it is a pecorino cheese not to be missed.
