At the table
Fresh sheep’s-milk cheese is one route to seadas, not the only correct one. The ministry’s specification also permits goat and cow cheeses or cow curd, with citrus zest.
Our suggestion: choose the cheese for the recipe you intend to make, rather than treating every fresh pecorino as identical or automatically protected by a regional denomination.

Ask which fresh pecorino
Busti’s recipe book identifies a particular fresh sheep’s-milk pecorino made with vegetable rennet. Those rennet and origin details belong to that named cheese; check the producer’s information for the one you choose.
