Sardinian flower DOP 300g

Typical sheep's cheese from Sardinia made exclusively from whole sheep's milk, hard-textured. The wheels are salted and lightly smoked once placed in the mold and finally aged in the cool cellars of central Sardinia. The aging process results in a firm texture, making the cheese suitable for grating as well. Pleasantly aromatic, milky with a slight tangy and sweet sensation.

 

This ancient cheese from the Sardinian tradition has been selected by Giovanni Roncolato of the prestigious Dairy La Casara among the hills of Roncà, beneath the ancient volcano of Calvarina. In the 1920s in Brenton, Ermenegildo along with his sons Angelo and Romano began the cheesemaking activity. Green pastures climb up to the highest peaks of the Lessini Mountains, the Little Dolomites of Verona. Since '64 the dairy has been taken over by Romano and he named it La Casara. This long tradition continues today with his children Giovanni, Gildo, and Letizia and has become one of the most important and refined realities in the Veneto and Italian production landscape. Giovanni has been the true promoter of the revival of the DOP veronese Monte Veronese dop and has particularly sought, from the very beginning, to bring young people back to the Veronese mountains to reclaim the tradition of the malghe. Today La Casara is multiple award-winning in international competitions and offers a wide range of its own cheese production including cow's, goat's, and sheep's milk cheeses. Over time, Giovanni has become a refined selector of cheeses from all over the world and here we present some of them. La Casara also has its own production of cured meats thanks to the free-range farming in the lands of Brenton from which the famous and rare soppressa comes. Authentic flavors, typical products, and genuineness are the fundamental characteristics of this beautiful Italian reality.
