Tradition In Sardinia, pastoralism has been a key part in crafting the cultural identity that Sardinians embody today. Throughout the years, pastoralism has proven to be a representation of Sardinian culture through the connection of people, land, and food. Due to the landscape of Sardinia, sheep farming became a major enterprise and symbol of Sardinian culture. Many areas within Sardinia still rely on pastoralism as an economic means of living, as well as a traditional concept that has shaped their identity in many ways, such as through food habits. Pasteurization is essential in the making of cheese, which is a desired delicacy in Sardinia. More specifically, Casu Marzu, which is a traditional delicacy that has a local protection, but overall has been banned by the Italian Government due to health concerns. This cheese has been a staple in Sardinian culture as it was made by sheep farmers with their sheeps' milk. Due to the banning of the cheese, the method in which you create Casu Marzu has been forgotten by many, but not all. It is quite hard to find, but not impossible if you know where to look. Sardinia's traditional shepherds and elders keep the taste of Casu Marzu alive in Italy. Though this cheese is hard to find, it is still eaten during special occasions such as weddings and anniversaries of customary Sardinians.
