Sifor Pecorino Peperoncino Fresco Wedge, 14.8 oz [Pack of 3]

Sifor Pecorino Peperoncino Fresco: Sicilian Heat & Cream

Quantity: 14.8 oz. Wedges [Pack of 3]

Add a spark of Mediterranean fire to your kitchen with Sifor Pecorino Peperoncino Fresco. This vibrant "First Salt" cheese is the perfect marriage of cool, milky Sicilian sheep’s milk and the bold, sun-ripened kick of crushed red chili peppers ( peperoncino ). This Pack of 3 ensures you always have a wedge on hand to spice up your appetizers or add depth to your favorite hot dishes.

A Balanced Sicilian Bite

Sifor crafts this fresco variety to be approachable yet exciting. The heat isn't designed to overwhelm; rather, it’s a slow, warming glow that complements the natural sweetness of the fresh curd.

• The Texture: Soft, springy, and remarkably fresh. Because it is a young cheese, it has a high moisture content that makes it incredibly creamy on the palate.
• The Infusion: You can see the bright flecks of red chili throughout the snow-white paste. Each bite delivers a burst of spice that is immediately tempered by the soothing, buttery sheep's milk.
• The Flavor: It starts with a clean, lactic sweetness and finishes with a zesty, piquant tingle that invites another bite.

Why the 3-Pack?

The 14.8 oz. size is perfect for maintaining the "fresco" quality. With three individually sealed wedges, you can manage your pantry with ease:

• Keep it Spicy: Use one wedge for a weekend charcuterie board and keep the others sealed to preserve their moisture and "zing."
• The Melting Secret: This fresh Pecorino melts beautifully. Use one wedge specifically for gourmet grilled cheese or topping spicy flatbreads.
• Entertaining Made Easy: Having three wedges means you can easily cater to larger groups or set out multiple cheese plates during a party.

Pairing & Culinary Suggestions

• The Board: Pair with salty olives, sweet roasted peppers, and soft salami like Finocchiona . The spice of the cheese loves a bit of honey or fig jam to balance the heat.
• The Kitchen: Cube it into a cold pasta salad for a surprise kick, or melt it over polenta. It’s also a fantastic companion to a crusty loaf of ciabatta.
• The Drink: Refresh your palate with a crisp, cold Birra Moretti or a fruity Sicilian white like Lucido. If you prefer red, a chilled Frappato is a world-class match.

Technical Profile

Pro Tip: To experience the full "bloom" of the chili flavor, slice the cheese and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
