Pantaleo Cheese

Pantaleo is a traditional Sardinian sheep’s milk cheese with a firm texture and a rich, savory flavor that deepens as it ages. Crafted in Sardinia using time-honored cheesemaking techniques, it offers notes of toasted nuts, browned butter, and sweet grass, along with the distinctive complexity that makes sheep’s milk cheeses so beloved. Its dense yet smooth texture makes it equally enjoyable for slicing, shaving, grating, or serving as part of a cheese board.

Available in sizes ranging from an 8-ounce wedge to a 5-pound wheel, Pantaleo is versatile enough for both everyday enjoyment and entertaining. Its balanced flavor allows it to shine on its own while also complementing a wide range of Mediterranean dishes, pastas, and antipasti spreads.

• Pairings: Cannonau, Vermentino, honey, fig preserves, Marcona almonds, olives, and rustic bread.
