Hailing from the traditions of Argentina and Italy, La Serenissima Sardo is the "hard-hitting" hero of the South American deli. This is a hard-aged, cow's milk cheese inspired by the Sardinian Pecorino Sardo, but with a creamy, buttery twist unique to the pampas. It is exceptionally firm, salty, and piquant—it has a "kick" that lets you know it’s arrived. This is the best cheese for grating over bold, saucy dishes, but it’s also a favorite for "Picada" (Argentine-style charcuterie). It has a dark, smooth rind and a pale, brittle interior. If you’re looking for a cheese that can stand up to a spicy Malbec or a smoky grilled steak, Sardo is your soulmate. It’s an authentic Latin-Italian fusion cheese that brings a sophisticated, sharp edge to any gathering. The Recipes Recipe #1: Sardo & Herb Stuffed Flank Steak (Matambre) Butterfly a flank steak and fill with spinach, roasted peppers, and plenty of shredded Sardo. Roll, tie, and grill; the sharp Sardo cheese acts as a powerful seasoning for the meat. A showstopper dinner party recipe. Recipe #2: Bold Sardo Carbonara Use La Serenissima Sardo instead of Pecorino for a sharper, more intense pasta sauce. The saltiness of the cheese emulsifies beautifully with egg yolks for a rich, traditional Italian dinner. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Sardo & Chimichurri Crostini Top a toast with a thick slice of Sardo and a spoonful of zesty chimichurri sauce. This vibrant Argentine appetizer is a fantastic conversation starter for a summer BBQ. Appetizer #2: Sharp Sardo & Honey Wedges Serve shards of Sardo with a side of wildflower honey. The honey tames the salt of the hard cheese, creating a perfectly balanced "sweet and sharp" party bite. Ingredients: Pasteurized milk, starter, salt, rennet, calcium chloride, lipase, natamycin and potassium sorbate (preservatives). Size: 7 Lbs Origin: Argentina
