CITP - Fiore Sardo

Thank you cheese cave!  I walked in looking for a cheese to pair with our salami, and this fine specimen just jumped out of the case at me.  Fiore Sardo is a sheep's milk semi-hard cheese from Sardegna with a beautiful black rind.


It packs more bite than peccorino romano, so it may be a bit much grated on a pasta if it's not the flavor you're trying to showcase, but it's excellent on its own or paired with salami (we had it with wild boar and barolo).
