Casu modde(casumodde)Casu modde cheese (also called casu marzu or, in Italian , formaggio marcio) is a special fermented cheese typical of Sardinia , Italy . Derived from Pecorino , its fermentation is brought up to quite a decompositionby the development of the larva of the Piophila casei, a small insect . Its pasta becomes very soft and some liquid comes out ("lagrima" = tear). It is enjoyed at the end of a heavy lunch, with typical Sardinian bread ( Pane Carasau ) and Cannonau , a strong red wine . Due to the high content of living organisms (really little jumping white worms), it obviously is not a product generallysuitable to anyone (it might cause allergies) and in some countries it might be illegal to produce or sell it. In Sardinia this is intended instead as a precious good, illegally sold (more or less) at three times pecorino's price.
