Our flagship cheese, Granduca di Mandas, is a pecorino with a strong personality. It has a fresh, fruity aroma and bold lactic notes, yet is delicate on the palate, slightly spicy, and has a lingering flavor. Its dry, firm texture is due to its aging period of over 150 days. It’s delicious eaten in pieces, as an aperitif or after a meal, and is also perfect for grating. The large wheel weighs an average of 16 kg and is aged for a minimum of 5-6 months. In 2022, Gambero Rosso ranked it as the best Sardinian pecorino on both the domestic and international markets. In 2023, it won the Silver Medal at the prestigious World Cheese Awards, the world’s most important and respected cheese competition, ranking among the second-best pecorinos in the world.
