This type of Pecorino sardo is defined by a smooth rind, solid, brown in color. The texture is white or pale yellow, thin and compact with small holes, soft and elastic, which eventually acquires a more hard and solid structure, with some graininess. The taste initially slightly marked but full, as ripening progresses it becomes pleasantly spicy.

This particular cheese is excellent served natural, cut into slices or slivers second seasoning. The pecorino with more delicate flavor can accompany salads of raw mushrooms, garden peas with butter or steamed asparagus. Those more intense flavored can be served with roasted chestnuts, stewed artichokes, sautéed Jerusalem artichokes or fried eggs.
