Pecorino Sardo
Pecorino Sardo is a traditional Sardinian hard sheep's‑milk cheese used in Italian cuisine, often grated over pasta or served in chunks with bread and wine. It is known for a tangy, savory flavor and a firm, aged texture. Nutritionally, Pecorino Sardo is protein‑rich, providing about 28g of protein per 100g, and is also a very good source of calcium and vitamin B12 typical of aged sheep cheeses. While it supplies concentrated protein and minerals, it is an energy‑dense cheese with a relatively high level of saturated fat, so smaller portions are a sensible choice if you're watching saturated‑fat intake.
