JUNCU Mixed (sheep and goat milk)

JUNCU Misto is an exceptional Sardinian semi-hard cheese made from a blend of sheep's and goat's milk. This unique combination gives the cheese a complex, distinctive character with a delicate earthiness and natural depth of flavour — typical of Sardinian pastoral tradition.

The cheese is aged for over 90 days in hand-woven rush baskets ("junco"), which leave a characteristic striped pattern on the rind and impart a rustic, pleasantly piquant flavour to the cheese.

Traditional production passed down from generation to generation in Sardinia. Valued for its balanced proportion of nutrients beneficial to human health.

Storage and Use

• After removing from the vacuum pack, allow the cheese to rest at room temperature for at least 20–30 minutes — this will allow the flavour to fully develop.
• Once opened, consume within 1–2 weeks.
• Wrap in parchment paper to keep the cheese moist and fresh.
• If mould appears after a long period, carefully cut it off and clean the cheese.

Note on Weight: As the cheese is hand-cut, the actual weight of the piece may vary slightly. The tolerance for actual weight is ±10%. The final price is calculated based on the actual weight of the piece.
