Brigante is a young sheep's milk cheese from Sardinia. Pinna forms Brigante in basket weave molds to honor the ancient shepherds of Sardinia that made pecorinos by pressing the curds into woven baskets. This small cheese is encased in a beige, inedible rind to stave off mold. Aged for 20-30 days, the ivory interior is springy with small, sparse eyes. It's youth makes it a delicate, mild cheese. A fresh, milky aroma, a mild sheep's milk flavor, and a herbal hint of lemon rounds out this young pecorino. This popular Italian cheese is loved by young and old, perfect for a cheese board yet also melts equally well. Choose a mild, fruity red or a crisp white wine.
  • Made from pasteurized sheep's milk.

What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.

Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.

What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.

How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

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.
