The cheeses made by the Santa Marina Formaggi company on the island of Sardinia are an odd lot. I can find out almost nothing about them on the Internet. Their website used to offer images of the cheeses they produce but now consists only of a single page and the words "organic cheess" in three languages. They also make the very good cheese Granitu and the very bad Plassas. Fortunately Monte Regale is also very good.
Do not confuse Monte Regale with Toma del Monte Regale, a soft raw cow's milk cheese from the Italian Piedmont. This Monte Regale, or "regal mountain", is made from raw sheep's milk and is a very fine grating or after dinner cheese. It has a clean pecorino taste with rich lingering flavors.
