How We Ship

FreshWave Packaging

Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.

For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.

Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.

Smoked Fiore Sardo DOP is Sardinia’s most iconic sheep’s milk cheese, made from raw milk and coagulated with lamb’s rennet. This traditional cheese has a rustic golden-brown rind and a firm, slightly granular texture. Carefully smoked without overwhelming the palate, Fiore Sardo offers an initial salty and smoky bite, followed by layers of complex, slightly spicy flavors. Its robust personality reflects the rugged Sardinian terroir and centuries-old cheesemaking traditions. Enjoy it crumbled over pasta, shaved onto salads, or served on a cheese board with figs, olives, honey, or cured meats. It’s also delightful paired with rustic breads and nuts for a satisfying snack.

Fiore Sardo was granted DOP (Denominazione d'Origine Protetta) status in 1996, guaranteeing production according to traditional methods within a specific region. Its name, meaning “flower of Sardinia,” refers to the ancient use of cardoon thistle flowers as a coagulant. Today, lamb rennet preserves the complex, savory flavors that have made Fiore Sardo a staple of Sardinian tables since the Bronze Age.
