Sifor Sfizioso Primo Sale: A Fresh Taste of Sicily

Weight: 1 lb. (Approximately 450g)

Transport your senses to the sun-drenched pastures of Sicily with Sifor Sfizioso Primo Sale. Unlike its aged cousins, "Primo Sale" (literally meaning "first salt") is a young, fresh Pecorino that captures the vibrant, milky essence of 100% Sicilian sheep’s milk. Produced by the renowned Sifor creamery, experts in the Mediterranean dairy tradition, this "Bianco" (white) version is the purest expression of the style—clean, bright, and utterly refreshing.


The "Primo Sale" Experience

Because this cheese is only briefly aged, it retains a high moisture content and a tender, springy texture that is a delight to slice and snack on.

  • Texture: Soft, white, and slightly elastic. It is remarkably juicy compared to harder, aged Pecorinos.
  • Aroma: Delicate and floral, with the scent of fresh cream and Mediterranean wildflowers.
  • Flavor: Mild and approachable. It offers a gentle lactic tang, a hint of salt, and a sweet, buttery finish that highlights the quality of the Sicilian sheep's milk.

Versatility in the Kitchen

The 1 lb. size is perfect for home use, ensuring you enjoy the cheese at its peak freshness. Its mild profile makes it a "sfizioso" (tasty/whimsical) addition to any meal:

  • The Antipasto: Slice into cubes and toss with extra virgin olive oil, dried oregano, and sun-dried tomatoes for a classic Sicilian starter.
  • The Salad: Crumble it over a fresh arugula and citrus salad or use it to add creaminess to a Mediterranean pasta salad.
  • The Snack: Simply pair it with crusty bread and green olives for a light, healthy lunch.
  • Melting: Try a thick slice on a panino; it softens beautifully without becoming oily.
