Picture of pecorino brigante cheese

Pecorino Brigante is the most delicious of the pecorinos and is made in the area around Thiesi in the north of the island of Sardinia.

It is eaten all over Sardinia where it is for the sweetness of the sheep's milk from which it is made.

The taste of this gourmet cheese can be described as unusual lemony and yeasty, combined with a marvelous creamy texture.

Reviews
This is the most fabulous cheese I have ever tasted. Cut it into small wedge slices and serve with figs and honey. In the UK we eat it with walnuts and honey with pears too.
