Sardinia
Sardegna in tavola
The crystal clear waters of Mediterranean surround the mountainous island of Sardinia. The cuisine of the rugged interior contrasts dramatically from the seafood prepared along the coast.
Pecorino Gran Cru
Produced in Sassari, our Pecorino Gran Cru is made with 100% sheep’s milk. The cheese is aged 20 months using techniques normally applied to Parmigiano Reggiano, which makes this an innovative product that can be found exclusively at Academia Barilla.
