Sardo is a hard, grating cow's milk Argentine cheese that is similar to pecorino romano , although the latter is made from sheep's milk and is sharper. Sardo comes from Argentina, and is not to be confused with pecorino sardo , another Italian sheep's cheese. Sardo is traditionally coagulated by animal rennet. Its flavor is mellow, yet rich, and lightly salty. It is white-yellowish in color and is sold in blocks of about 6.5 pounds (2.9 kg). Sardo cheese meets the U.S. Standards of Identity for cow's milk.
