AZIENDA AGRICOLA SA MARCHESA DI CUGUSI GIUSEPPE

On the Nuoro plateau, in Gavoi, the Sa Marchesa di Cugusi Giuseppe dairy produces a single protected denomination: Fiore Sardo DOP. Each wheel is made from raw sheep's milk and vegetable rennet, without pasteurization, preservatives, or additives—a choice that entrusts the result to the cheesemaker's skill rather than technology, allowing the Sardinian milk to speak for itself. The cheese is presented as a table cheese, fresh or lightly aged, with a compact texture designed for a clean slice: it pairs well with figs, walnuts, or a rosé wine that lightens its density. Focusing on a single product here means defending a method: that of plateau grazing translated into cheesemaking without shortcuts. The farm is open to visitors: a stop in Gavoi is worthwhile to see how unpasteurized milk takes shape under the cheesemaker's hands and to taste, on site, the difference between a freshly made Fiore Sardo and one left to mature for a few weeks.
