CADAU PIETRO

Pietro Cadau produces Fiore Sardo DOP in Ploaghe, in the province of Sassari, crafting one of the sheep cheeses that best tell the story of Sardinia. His raw-paste cheeses mature over varying periods and acquire a light smokiness during aging, the characteristic that distinguishes them within a production area extending to 377 municipalities on the island. The cheese's character is defined during this interval. The local temperature and humidity cycles shape the paste and flavor towards a fully savory profile, while the smoke, carefully measured and never intrusive, adds a signature that belongs to the method even more than to the taste. Each wheel carries the cheesemaking knowledge of Ploaghe, a craft passed down through generations that here is not a rhetorical framework but daily practice, measured by the gestures of curdling and the interpretation of timing. Cadau thus delivers a Fiore Sardo that combines artisanal consistency with belonging to a very specific pastoral territory.
