Fiore Sardo
Food · PDO · 377 municipalities
Recognised under EU PDO status since 1996, Fiore Sardo DOP is a cheese distinguished by its highly concentrated scale of production within Sardinia. While other regional denominations are manufactured widely, this specific cheese is restricted to 377 municipalities, including Abbasanta and Albagiara, and is crafted by only 38 verified producers. Under the oversight of the Consorzio per la Tutela del Formaggio Fiore Sardo DOP, these 38 operations maintain the strict boundaries of the PDO. This tight geographical focus and limited number of active, verified producers set Fiore Sardo DOP apart from larger cheese denominations on the island.
