The "Dolce di Cardo" cheese is born from the union of an ancient recipe and innovative production methods. It is a pecorino cheese, with a soft consistence, a delicate flavour, a white\ pale yellow colour depending on the aging, curdled with rennet obtained from wild cardoon, which is also used as a nourishment for the sheeps together with some mediterranean essences and locally produced fodders. "Dolce di Cardo" is a truly niche product derived from an ecosustainable agriculture, in which the cardoon active principles (epatoprotector, proteolytic and antioxidant), the use of living lactobacillus which metabolize lactose in a partial or total way depending on the aging, the low level of sodium, are peculiarities that make this product tasty, easy to digest, nutritious and adapt to people of every age.

Its characteristics changes depending on the aging. Infant we chan choose between a young aged sardinian pecorino, with a sweeter taste, a mid-hard compact consistency and a white colour, and the more aged variants, which a hard paste, pale yellow coloured with a strong and lightly pungent flavour. In both the cases the crust is thin but compact, with a lighter colour for the sweet sardinian pecorino and darker for the well mature one.
