If you like your cheese with a side of "fire," the Locatelli Saracino with Red Pepper is your soulmate. This is a semi-soft sheep’s milk cheese (Pecorino) that is much younger and creamier than its famous "Romano" cousin, but it has been generously studded with crushed red chili flakes. It is a spicy Italian specialty cheese that offers a beautiful "zesty" tingle rather than a punishing burn. The sweetness of the sheep’s milk provides a perfect cushion for the heat of the peppers. It is the best "conversation starter" cheese for a charcuterie board, offering a pop of color and an unexpected kick. It’s a crowd-pleasing spicy cheese that appeals to those who want a little more "personality" in their snack. The Recipes Recipe #1: The "Zesty" Italian Panini Layer spicy capicola, arugula, and thick slices of Locatelli Saracino on ciabatta. The red pepper cheese melts beautifully, infusing the sandwich with a subtle, warming heat. Recipe #2: Spicy Sheep's Milk Quesadillas Use Saracino with Red Pepper inside a flour tortilla with sautéed onions and peppers. It’s a fun fusion lunch that bridges the gap between Italian craftsmanship and a quick family favorite. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: "Fire & Ice" Skewers Cube the Saracino and thread with a piece of cool, sweet melon or a fresh grape. The contrast between the spicy pepper and the sweet fruit is a perfectly balanced party appetizer. Appetizer #2: Spicy Cheese & Salami "Roll-Ups" Wrap a slice of mild salami around a baton of Saracino with Red Pepper. A quick, high-protein snack that packs a massive amount of flavor into a small bite. Ingredients: 100% Whole pasteurized sheep’s milk, cultures, rennet, salt, red pepper Size: 5 Lbs Origin: Italy
