| Description | DOP pecorino produced by Bussu brothers in the heart of Sardinia with organic raw milk obtained from Sarda sheeps of their own flock |
|---|---|
| Appearance | Cylindrical shape with dimensions in app of 20 cm in diameter and 11/12 cm height. The rind is brown to dark brown due to the light smoking, and treatment with olive oil. The paste is compact, hard and crumbly, with a straw colour |
| Taste | The taste is long, earthy, gently smoked, with hints of fresh grass and flowers |
| Maturing | At least 4 months |
| Curiosity | The name seems to derive either from an ancient custom to curdle the cheese with thistle flower or from the fact that in the forming of the cheese they used wooden molds on which the bottom was patterned with a flower |
| Our selection | Gianfranco and Salvatore Bussu are not only pastors, but also produce an excellent cheese from the milk of their sheeps. The dairy is located on the Campeda, in the municipality of Marcomer in the province of Nuoro. The 1800 Sarda ewes are free to pasture in approximately 200 acres and never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products. If needed they are fed with the possible addition of forage produced on the farm without the use of chemical fertilizers. For the smoking of Fiore Sardo only local woods are used. The cheese matures in natural cellars. A real masterpiece! |
| Suggestions | Amazing over pasta dishes. Beautiful with intense red wines. Great with artisanal bread and in a starter dish |

Why we chose them
The Debbene Dairy is located in Sardinia, on the plateau of Campeda, in the town of Macomer in the province of Nuoro. Gianfranco and Salvatore
Bussu, besides producing excellent cheeses, are first of all pastors and they manage their company in a strictly organic way. The 1800 Sarda breed
sheep are bred in the wild and have about 200 hectares of available pasture. Power is only enhanced by the addition of organic feed produced on
the farm, without chemical fertilizers. Animals are never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products. Debbene cheeses are produced exclusively
with milk obtained from the Sarda breed sheep that are reared on the farm. The rennet that is used to coagulate is obtained from the Sarda lambs.
