Bianco Sardo
Similar to its cousin Pecorino Romano, Bianco Sardo is an Italian cheese that’s ideal for cooking and grating. It has a dry, firm paste and surprisingly creamy mouthfeel that contains earthy, woodsy flavors as well as notes of sweet grass, sea salt, and a lemony tang. This cheese is perfect for shaving over traditional Italian pasta dishes or vegetables, and pairs well with Murray’s Italian EVOO and 1932 Pomodorina Basil Sauce.
Unless noted otherwise, Murray's cheeses sold by the lb ship in multiple 0.5 lb increments. To request a whole wheel, please contact the Murray's team at orders@murrayscheese.com at least 72 hours prior to your desired ship date.
