Fresh raw goat or ewe milk is set at milking warmth with kid or lamb rennet paste in about half an hour. The uncut curd is ladled in thin layers between fern tips into a cloth-lined container, tied up and hung for a few hours to drain. It is not salted and is eaten within about two days, the fern pattern printed in the white curd.

At a glance
Fresh raw goat or ewe milk is set at milking warmth with kid or lamb rennet paste in about half an hour. The uncut curd is ladled in thin layers between fern tips into a cloth-lined container, tied up and hung for a few hours to drain. It is not salted and is eaten within about two days, the fern pattern printed in the white curd. Made in 5 steps over 2.5 h. The longest step, tie and hang to drain, takes at least 2 h (ONAF (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori F…).
The curd is never cut or salted. It is built up in thin layers between fern leaves, drained for a few hours and eaten within two days, so it is barely ripened at all.
Rind
None; milk-white, fern-imprinted
Size
Discs a few mm thick, 15–20 cm across; weight very variable
The milk is raw and the curd is not salted, so it is eaten within 36–48 hours or kept in the fridge. ONAF says the soft shield fern laid against the curd is considered toxic, which makes the cheese hard to sell. No source we read measures what passes from the fern into the curd, so this page records a tradition and is not a recipe to follow. ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, people with weak immunity and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses.
Herders made it in summer, when the milk is richest. Oral tradition says it has always existed, and the most recent written sources date from the early 1900s. A herder's fold is a one-room round hut (su pinnettu) with a conical roof of juniper or holm-oak beams covered with branches. The ferns helped the fresh curd drain so it could be eaten at once. It is now made only for home use or as a gift, under 300 kg a year, and in 2025 the PAT list renamed it "Casu in filixi – Formaggio in felce".
