3 Pecorini | Pecorino Sardo Maturo Linguine Carbonara
by Chef Mikel Anthony
The ancestors of Pecorino Sardo, Rosso Fino and Affumicato, were cheeses made from raw milk or milk heated with red-hot stones. Over the centuries, there has been a continuous refinement of the characteristic production technique that has spread throughout Sardinia up to the very important recognition of the P.D.O. Today, Pecorino Sardo is unanimously considered one of the emblems of excellence of its Area of Origin. Program funded by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia with L.R. n. 5/2015 art. 15.
This recipe is part of the Chef’s Roll Test Kitchen, in partnership with 3 Pecorini and FOH.
