Moliterno is an Italian pressed uncooked cheese, produced mainly in Sardinia and Basilicata. It is often made from sheep's milk, although some variations may also include goat's milk or a combination of sheep's and cow's milk.
This cheese is renowned for its rich, complex flavour, which can vary depending on factors such as terroir, season and production techniques. It generally has a firm to grainy texture and an intense flavour, often fruity with hints of hazelnut.
Moliterno is sometimes flavoured with ingredients such as black pepper, truffles or chilli, adding even more character to its taste profile. It can be enjoyed on its own with a glass of wine or used in a variety of Italian dishes, such as antipasti, salads or pasta dishes.
