Goat cheese is characterized by its slight acid and a refreshing taste, as well as by its brittle and fragile texture. Goat milk contains smaller fat globules compared to cow’s milk, making it easy to digest.

Cheeses are classified into soft, semi-hard, and hard cheeses depending on their water content. Semi-hard cheeses aging varies between one to six months, a process giving them a slightly hard and mild flavor. As these types of cheese melt easily when heated, they are very well suited for everyday use such as a panini ingredient or grated cheese in cooking.

In Sardinia, which faces the sea but has a lot of dry land, sheep farming is so popular that it is said that there are more sheep than humans. This is due to land and labor costs, Italy’s oldest cheese Pecorino Romano DOP is now produced in Sardinia, despite it being called Roman Pecorino. However it is still certified as Protected Designation of Origin.
