Bianco Sardo di Moliterno

Artisanal CheeseClock Pairing Tool

Bianco Sardo, from Basilicata, Italy, is also known as Canestrato, after the baskets in which this hard sheep's milk cheese was traditionally matured. These unique molds were made from Apulian reed and influenced the flavor of the end product, all while giving the cheese a beautiful exterior that reinforced its handmade appeal. Furthermore, the raw sheep's milk used for Bianco Sardo comes only from animals grazing on Apulian green grasses, instilling Bianco Sardo with the well-rounded and balanced flavor of the land. Its paste is dense and sometimes crumbly, its flavor earthy, sweet, and nutty. Bianco Sardo is a versatile cheese partner for many wines.
