Pecorino cheese made from whole raw milk, without ferments and with a natural coating; lightly smoked with Mediterranean scrub wood.
A flavor as strong as the people of the quaint village of Orgosolo, known for its authentic products and pristine environment. The fresh year-round vegetation, blown in from the nearby sea, is the secret to the unique flavor of this traditional cheese.
When available, this is a pecorino cheese not to be missed.

Reviews
Sehr gute Qualität und sehr gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Ich bestelle gerne wieder.
Einen Punkt Abzug, da die Sachen (auch aufgrund der Außentemperatur sehr warm hier ankamen, was gerade bei Culurgiones nicht optimal ist. Das nächste Mal bitte besser isolieren und ggf. Trockeneis (?) benutzen, oder mehr Kühlpads.
Inconfondibile la lavorazione tradizionale a latte crudo, l'affumicatura naturale dà un gusto inconfondibile che si trova solo in Sardegna
Molto buono, ottimo come gusto e sapore. Se dovessi ricomprare lo comprerei meno stagionato, però questo dipende dal gusto, non posso certo dire che non sia buono, anzi
Tagliato due giorni fa' grattugiato sulla pasta una bomba veramente buono complimenti sicuramente quando lo finirò ne prenderò un'altro
Trop fumé
