Fiore Sardo DOP

One of Sardinia’s three pecorino cheeses with a designation of origin, Fiore has the characteristic arched “mule’s back” shape and a rind covered with an emulsion of olive oil, wine vinegar, and table salt. Its name comes from the fact that wild thistle flowers were once used as rennet in its production.

It can be smoked during the curing process, using smoke obtained from typical trees.
