Lactose-Free Brigante

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.

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.

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.

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.
