Sheep and goats breeding has a long tradition on Sardinia Island. There are about 10,890,000 sheep and 1,347,000 goats in Italy, 4,298,000 of sheep and 327,000 of goats are in Sardinia. The production is based on indigenous breeds of animals (the breed Sarda is the most important one) kept on extensive pastures all the year. They are often crossed with more performant breeds, such as Lacaune (sheep) and Saanen or Alpine (goats). Milk production is processed on farms and/or cooperative processing plants. Most of the milk is used for the production of traditional hard and smoked cheeses. The ewe cheese Ricotta di Pecora produced from whey proteins and uncoagulated casein is an island speciality.
