for the sardinian way of milking the sheep needs to be between your legs and you have to squeeze very tight. oh in between my legs like this? come towards me, come here. now squeeze. oh, i see. i swear, it s not just me, hand-milking is harder than it looks. damn it! i m so afraid of hurting it. you do it. me? yes, you do it. for antonio, this hard work is worth it for the distinctive, fatty milk the sardo sheep produce. that s a lot of milk, wow. if you try it the taste is very intense. it s very creamy. oh my god, it s delicious. is it good? yeah. it s because the sheep eat the grass from these mountains which is rich and aromatic.
but it s good for you, it s a workout. i can build some muscles. each summer, antonio putzu spends three hard months herding sardo sheep on this mountain. but, like the local shepherds, the sheep enjoy their liberty. in the morning we need to stop and listen to find out where they are. sometimes they are up there, at the top of mount corrasi. almost 5,000 feet high, other times they are up there instead on sonnidos, 4300 feet high. that s when you say those sheep! that freedom! but it s a necessary freedom. pecorino sardo, the island s coveted cheese, can only be made from the milk of wild-grazing sardo sheep. so, do you want to try the thrill of milking? si. show me your wrists. you can milk her without any problems. okay good. thank god, thank god.
