Description
Organic Raw Milk Sheep Cheese with Black Pepper (Pecorino al Pepe) is a handcrafted artisan Pecorino produced in Pattada, Sardinia, using exclusively 100% organic raw sheep’s milk from Funtana Cana’s own organically raised flock.
Every wheel begins with sheep grazing naturally on the pristine pastures of northern Sardinia. Because the milk is processed raw, its natural enzymes and beneficial microflora are preserved, allowing the cheese to develop remarkable depth of flavour while expressing the unique character of Sardinian terroir.
During production, carefully selected whole black peppercorns are blended throughout the curd. As the cheese matures, the pepper gradually releases its aromatic oils, creating a balanced flavour that complements the natural sweetness and richness of the sheep’s milk rather than overpowering it. The result is a refined Pecorino with a creamy texture, pleasant savoury character and a delicate spicy finish.
Certified organic by ICEA, Funtana Cana controls every stage of production—from raising the sheep and producing the milk to handcrafting and maturing each cheese in its own artisan dairy. This complete farm-to-cheese traceability guarantees authenticity, consistency and exceptional quality.
Organic Black Pepper Pecorino is highly versatile. It can be enjoyed on premium cheese boards, paired with full-bodied red wines, craft beers or sparkling wines, and served alongside charcuterie, olives and artisan bread. It also performs beautifully in gourmet sandwiches, pasta dishes, risottos and Mediterranean cuisine, making it popular with chefs and specialty food retailers.
Produced entirely in Pattada, Sardinia, this distinctive cheese combines traditional Sardinian cheesemaking with carefully balanced seasoning, offering importers and gourmet retailers a premium artisan product with outstanding provenance and broad consumer appeal.
