Goat or ewe milk at about 35 °C, sometimes with a natural whey starter, is set with rennet in 8–15 minutes and left 4–5 hours to firm. The curd is sliced and left under its whey for about a day to sour, then cut into slabs. It is eaten fresh within days, or dried, lightly salted and kept for months in saturated brine, where it turns salty and sharp.
optional natural whey starter: previous whey left to sour ~24 h, cooling from 34–36 °C to ambient
Total time across the recorded steps: 2.7 days – 3.2 days

Goat or ewe milk at about 35 °C, sometimes with a natural whey starter, is set with rennet in 8–15 minutes and left 4–5 hours to firm. The curd is sliced and left under its whey for about a day to sour, then cut into slabs. It is eaten fresh within days, or dried, lightly salted and kept for months in saturated brine, where it turns salty and sharp. Made in 6 steps over 2.7 days – 3.2 days. The longest step, drain on mats and salt lightly, for keeping, takes 36 h – 2 days (ONAF (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori F…).
The curd sets slowly and is cut into slices that sour and drain under their own whey for about a day. It is kept under whey (fresh) or, after drying on mats and a light dry salting, in saturated brine (aged). Aged Fìscidu flavours soups and, in Ogliastra, the filling of potato ravioli.

Safety
The farm form is raw milk; small dairies use thermised or pasteurised milk. ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, people with weak immunity and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses.
Laore cites M. L. Wagner's La vita rustica (first edition 1921) for the traditional method, and ONAF says the word casu is already cited in that edition. ONAF says shepherds historically ate this cheese for breakfast. Axedu means vinegar in Campidanese Sardinian, after the cheese's sourness.
