Lactose-Free Brigante

Sheep | Fresh | Digestible

The lactose-free version of our best known and most loved sheep milk cheese.
Like the classic Brigante, it is made only from whole milk and it matures for just 20-25 days before being ready to be tasted. In this cheese, lactose is transformed into other sugars thanks to an enzyme, leaving the taste, aroma and freshness intact. The rind is light yellow in colour, with the lines of canestrati cheeses and it is treated on its surface with a preservative that protects it from mould. The paste is cream-coloured, soft, with slight holes.

It has a fresh and balanced flavour, with the richness of taste of sheep milk and the delicacy of very short ripening. It is delicious by itself for a snack, it makes sandwiches and salads special and tasty. In cuisine it is a fresh and tasty ingredient for many recipes.

Question and Answer

How Lactose-free Brigante is produced?

To produce Lactose-Free Brigante is added the enzyme "lactase". It breaks down lactose into two simple sugars, glucose and galactose. In this way we can obtain an highly digestible sheep's milk cheese.

What are lactose-free cheeses?

Our lactose-free cheeses are: lactose-free Brigante, Pecorino Romano PDO, Mature Pecorino Sardo PDO Medoro cheese, Fiore Sardo PDO cheese and also all our other hard cheeses.

Is sheep milk cheese good for lactose intolerant people?

Yes, aged sheep milk cheeses are good for lactose intolerant people. Lactose intolerant people can eat just aged cheeses but not fresh sheep cheeses. Or also as in the case of our Lactose-Free Brigante, although it has a shorter maturation, the lactose is eliminated thanks to the lactase enzyme.

Is sheep milk Ricotta cheese good for lactose intolerant people?

Yes, in the tasty word of PINNA cheeses, those who are lactose intolerant can eat fresh sheep ricotta thanks to our specific line of lactose-free ricotta cheeses.
To respond to our consumers requests we have** created lactose-free version of our Sheep Ricotta**: made thanks to the enzymatic breakdown of lactose into its two main components: glucose and galactose, as to make it more easily digestible without giving up its particular taste of the fresh sheep ricotta.
Without its specific production designed for lactose intolerant, fresh sheep ricotta is absolutely not suitable for lactose intolerant people.
