Primo Sale Sicilian Pecorino Bianco Cheese, 6 lb.

ifor Sfizioso Primo Sale Bianco: The Grand Sicilian Table Cheese

Weight: 6 lbs (Approx. 2.7kg Whole Wheel)

The 6 lb. Primo Sale Bianco is the definitive "anchor" of the Sicilian dairy tradition. While aged Pecorinos are known for their sharp bite, the Primo Sale (meaning "First Salt") is celebrated for its youthful energy and pure, milky sweetness. This substantial 6 lb. wheel is the ideal size for professional kitchens, deli counters, or large family gatherings where the authentic, unadulterated taste of Sicily is required.

Pure Artisan Craftsmanship

Produced by Sifor using 100% premium Sicilian sheep’s milk, this "Bianco" (white) version is the foundation of their craft—free from inclusions to let the quality of the mountain-grazed milk speak for itself.

• The Texture: Bright white, compact, and springy. It is a "living" cheese that feels remarkably fresh and moist on the palate, offering a tender mouthfeel that is significantly softer than a matured stagionato .
• The Aroma: Clean and delicate, with the nostalgic scent of fresh cream and sweet Mediterranean grasses.
• The Flavor: Mild, approachable, and perfectly balanced. You will experience a gentle lactic tang followed by a light, buttery finish and a touch of sea salt that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the milk.

Culinary Excellence on a Large Scale

A 6 lb. wheel offers incredible versatility for those who view cheese as a primary ingredient rather than just a snack:

• The Ultimate Antipasto: This wheel is designed to be cut into generous wedges or cubes and served alongside green Castelvetrano olives, marinated artichokes, and crusty sourdough bread.
• The Melting Factor: Because of its youth and moisture, this Pecorino melts beautifully. Use it as a rich, silky base for authentic Sicilian "Schiacciata" (stuffed flatbread) or thick-crust pizzas.
• The Table Centerpiece: Leave the wheel whole for a brunch or buffet, allowing guests to carve their own slices of fresh Sicilian tradition.

Technical Profile

Artisan Note: This 6 lb. wheel represents the peak of "table cheese" culture. In Sicily, it is common to see a wheel this size on the counter, used daily for everything from a morning snack to a late-night pasta topping.
