It has been scientifically proven that Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids (otherwise known as CLA - Conjugated Linoleic Acid), which are prevalent in Pecorino Sardo, aren’t just important from a nutritional perspective, they’re highly therapeutic too.
Indeed, OMEGA 3 and OMEGA 6 fatty acids help with bone formation, improve the immune system, contribute to reducing the body-fat percentage, have an antioxidant effect and facilitate the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. And this is all thanks, in particular, to the natural goodness on which the sheep graze in Sardinia’s pristine environment.
Pecorino Sardo is also very easy to digest, especially when fully aged, because the animal proteins are broken down during the ageing process, thus making them easier for the digestive system to assimilate.
Low in salt and rich in protein, Pecorino Sardo, be it Mild or Mature, provides the body with everything it needs for the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Indeed, from a purely nutritional perspective, protein is one of the three essential macro-nutrients our bodies need to survive. It’s defined as “macro” because, like fats and carbohydrates, it is consumed in high quantities and used by the body as fuel. Ideal for people of any age, Pecorino Sardo is a cheese rich in all the nutrients necessary for a healthy lifestyle.
Perfect eaten just as it is, as shavings or as cubes, and it’s also an excellent ingredient for cooking that can be used in a wide variety of recipes.
All wheels of Pecorino Sardo Mild and Mature, when released for consumption, are identified by a circular label showing the PDO trademark arranged in a radial pattern, and includes a sticker with an alphanumeric code.
