Sardo cheese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article describes the cheese from Argentina and Egypt; for the Sardo cheese from Sardinia, see Pecorino Sardo

Sardo is a hard, grating cheese that is similar to Romano cheese, although its flavor is not as sharp. It is made from cow's milk and comes from Argentina and Egypt. Sardo is traditionally coagulated by animal rennet which is the inner lining of the fourth stomach of calves and other young ruminants. Therefore, it is not a vegetarian cheese. Its flavor is mellow, yet rich, and lightly salty. It is white-yellowish in color and is sold in blocks of about 6.5 pounds. Sardo cheese meets the U.S. Standards of Identity for cow's milk.
