Runara, which is also produced with pastured sheep's milk, has a light brown basket imprint rind. After thermization and inoculation with natural milk enzymes, it is coagulated with goat rennet. This gives the product an intense aroma and a sweet, tart flavor when it is fresh and a pleasant sharp taste when it is mature. It may be served as a part of cheese plate or grated, depending on the maturation. This medium aged Crotonese style cheese is made in Coros, a historic region on the Isle of Sardinia. This is a delicious pure Ewe's milk, pasture fed table cheese made on the Isle of Sardinia. It is sometimes called a "basket" cheese or canestro because it is aged in a basket, which gives pecorino Runara a distinctive cross-hatch impression on the rind. Made from 100% sheep's milk, this voluptuous, medium-bodied cheese is aged for six months. It is terrific as a table cheese, but is also a fine complement to hearty antipasto fare like olives, mushrooms, salami and roasted peppers. There are places in Italy where the intense perfume of the sea embraces the rich perfume of the soil, bringing to life excellent quality products. In the heart of the Mediterranean you can find the magical island of Sardinia! In this uncontaminated territory, which is abundant in olive groves and green pastures and just 25km from the sea, more than 400 sheep farmers have come together to give life to the LAIT Dairy in Ittiri. Cooperation and synergy are the key words, which make LAIT one of the most important realities in the field of dairy production. Constant teamwork over the years, ancient traditions and modern technology all add up to provide a range of genuine products of the highest quality.
