On May 12, 2019, the small municipality of Loculi in the island of Sardinia assembled this pecorino cheese. The cheese was then subjected to seasoning for the next 12 months, and, after the said period, a Guinness adjudicator officially examined the creation. After the examination...
The massive pecorino was declared to be the largest cheese made from sheep's milk, beating a 1,178.8-pound block of pecorino made in Ascoli Piceno, in Italy's Le Marche region, in 2009.
"The cheese was made with traditional methods and, above and beyond the record, it was a chance to rediscover the local area's artisan skills and food culture," Anna Pitzalis, who designed the wooden wheel holding the record-breaking cheese, told ANSA.
The cheese weighs 1,319.5 pounds.
