The Noticiana is a breed of domestic sheep indigenous to the inland parts of the province of Syracuse, in south-eastern Sicily, Italy.
It is raised in the province of Syracuse and in neighbouring parts of that of Ragusa.
[3] The Noticiana is one of the forty-two autochthonous local sheep breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep-breeders.
[5] The numbers and conservation status of the breed are unknown.
The milk is used to make the regional cheeses of the Val di Noto area, fresh and peppered pecorino, and ricotta.
