Calcagno is an Italian type of pecorino cheese prepared using raw sheep's milk and peppercorns.[1][2][3] It is a hard cheese that can be grated.[4] In its preparation, peppercorns are added to the curd, the mixture is drained in baskets, salt is added, and the mix is aged for at least three months.[1] As the cheese ages, it becomes grainier in texture, and its flavor becomes spicier, pungent and saltier.[1] Calcagno originated in Sardinia, and is prepared in Sardinia and Sicily.[1][2] It is sometimes aged for up to ten months.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
