| Maturing | At least 8 months |
| Curiosity | The name comes maybe from the ancient tradition of producing cheese with vegetal rennet obtained by the cardoon flower or, maybe, from the custom of using baskets with a flower stamped on the bottom |
| Our selection | The name Fiore seems to derive from the ancient custom of curdling the cheese with the thistle flower or from the custom of forming the cheese in wooden molds on the bottom of which a flower similar to the asphodel and the pink peony was carved. |

The producer
Caseificio Debbene - Macomer (NU) - Sardinia
Why we chose them
The Debbene Dairy is located in Sardinia, on the plateau of Campeda, in the town of Macomer in the province of Nuoro. Gianfranco and Salvatore
Bussu, besides producing excellent cheeses, are first of all pastors and they manage their company in a strictly organic way. The 1800 Sarda breed
sheep are bred in the wild and have about 200 hectares of available pasture. Power is only enhanced by the addition of organic feed produced on
the farm, without chemical fertilizers. Animals are never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products. Debbene cheeses are produced exclusively
with milk obtained from the Sarda breed sheep that are reared on the farm. The rennet that is used to coagulate is obtained from the Sarda lambs.
