Sifor Pecorino Nerello Sikano Wedge, 15.9 oz [Pack of 3]

This cheese is a beautiful marriage of Sicily’s two greatest loves: sheep's milk and wine. Nerello Sikano is a Pecorino that has been bathed in Nerello Mascalese red wine (the legendary grape of Mount Etna). This gives the cheese a stunning purple rind and an aroma of dark fruits and oak. The paste is firm and nutty with a subtle fruity finish. It is the most visually striking cheese for an Italian board—the "Drunken Goat's" more sophisticated, volcanic cousin. It’s a conversation-piece cheese that looks like a work of art and tastes like a holiday. The Recipes Recipe #1: Wine-Washed Pecorino & Steak Salad Shave shards of Nerello Sikano over a sliced steak salad with arugula and balsamic. The wine notes in the cheese enhance the richness of the beef. A high-end dinner for friends. Recipe #2: "Etna" Pasta with Red Wine Cheese Grate this wine-soaked Pecorino over a simple pasta with sautéed mushrooms. The fruity finish of the cheese creates a complex, savory sauce for a family night in. The Appetizers Appetizer #1: Nerello Sikano & Walnut Bites Pair a wedge of the purple-rind cheese with a toasted walnut. The nutty-and-fruity profile is a sophisticated way to start a dinner party. Appetizer #2: The "Purple" Crostini Top a toast with a slice of Nerello Sikano and a blackberry. The visual appeal and fruit-forward flavor make this a standout cocktail hour snack.
