Raw whole milk pecorino cheese, without ferments and with natural capping; lightly smoked with Mediterranean scrub wood
A taste with a strong character like the inhabitants of the characteristic village of Orgosolo, known for the genuineness of its products and its uncontaminated environment. The fresh vegetation all year round and blown by the nearby sea is the secret of the unique taste of this traditional cheese.
When available, this is a pecorino cheese not to be missed.

Reviews
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
Semplicemente squisito, come tutti gli altri prodotti.
