Casu marzu Cheese

About Casu marzu Cheese

Casu marzu is a traditional cheese from Sardinia, Italy, also found in Southern Corsica, France. Made from sheep's milk, this cheese is known for its soft, soft-ripened texture and natural rind. What sets Casu marzu apart is its fermentation process, which involves the introduction of cheese fly larvae. This process results in a strong, tangy flavor with a creamy consistency. Often considered a delicacy, it is typically enjoyed with Sardinian flatbread and a glass of robust red wine. Due to its unique production method, it is not commercially available and is often found in local markets or made by artisans.
