Langoustine & Smoked Gnocchi in Fiore Sardo Brodo
by Chef Dan Kish
Fiore Sardo P.D.O. has always been considered the cheese of Sardinian sheep farmers. The use of raw milk and local milk enzymes ensures the development of the natural milk microflora and thermolabile compounds such as vitamins and enzymes. The use of rennet enzymes (lamb or kid rennet, often handcrafted by the shepherd) gives to the cheese. Program funded by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia with L.R. n. 5/2015 art. 15.
This recipe is produced in partnership with 3 Pecorini.
