'''Fiore Sardo''' is a [[DOP]] [[Ewes' milk cheese|ewes' milk cheese]] from Sardinia.

'''Description''': [[Whole milk|whole milk]] hard, uncooked [[Cheese|cheese]],
varying in maturity depending on use (table [[Cheese|cheese]] or for
[[Grating|grating]]); the shape consists of two flattened truncated
cones with horizontal bases joined by the main base.

'''Geographical area''': the entire territory of the autonomous
region of Sardinia.

'''Background''': a very old [[Cheese|cheese]] said to originate from before
the Roman conquest. The [[Cheese|cheese]] tradition is exclusively
Sardinian in origin so that the [[Milk|milk]] used comes solely
from [[Sheep|sheep]] from local breeds. Etymologically, the name of
the product refers to the former coagulating agent of
[[Vegetable|vegetable]] origin as well as to the characteristic colour
of the [[Curd|curd]]. As it relates to the [[Sheep|sheep]]-rearing tradition
in Sardinia generally, over time the [[Cheese|cheese]] has come to be
named after the geographical name referring to the entire
region.

'''Production method''': the [[Curds|curds]], obtained from whole [[Sheep|sheep]]'s
[[Milk|milk]] with the addition of [[Lamb|lamb]]'s and/or kid's rennets
undergo milling and then are pressed into suitable moulds,
[[Salting|salting]] and ripening follow, the latter also includes
[[Smoking|smoking]] by natural means.

'''Link''': as for the natural factors, the particular
characteristics of the areas intended for [[Sheep|sheep]]-rearing in
Sardinia, using pastureland rich in natural
essences which gives particular characteristics to the [[Milk|milk]]
sent for turning into [[Cheese|cheese]], should be borne in mind. As
for the human factors, the socio-economic importance
of traditional [[Sheep|sheep]]-farming for the island's population
must be pointed out as it is often the [[Sole|sole]] source of
income in areas without alternative resources.
