Sifor Sfizioso Primo Sale Sicilian Pecorino with Pistachio, 1 Lb.

Sifor Sfizioso Primo Sale with Pistachio: The Emerald of Sicily

Weight: 1 lb.

Indulge in a true Sicilian icon. This Primo Sale with Pistachio combines the gentle, milky tradition of young sheep's milk cheese with the island’s most prized export: Bronte-style pistachios . Produced by Sifor in the heart of Sicily, this "Sfizioso" (meaning delicious or fancy) cheese is a vibrant celebration of Mediterranean color and crunch.

The Flavor Journey

• The Base: A classic "First Salt" Pecorino that is bright, white, and tender. It provides a clean, creamy canvas that allows the premium nuts to shine.
• The Infusion: Folded throughout the curd are whole and halved emerald-green pistachios. These aren't just for show—they infuse the cheese with a delicate, resinous sweetness and a satisfying toasted crunch.
• The Profile: A beautiful contrast of textures. You’ll experience the soft, yielding give of the fresh cheese followed by the firm, nutty snap of the pistachio, ending with a perfectly balanced salty-sweet finish.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

The 1 lb. wheel is a visual showstopper, its white paste speckled with brilliant greens. It is the perfect size for an intimate dinner party or a weekend treat.

• On the Board: Pair with Mortadella Bologna(the classic companion to pistachio) and a drizzle of orange blossom honey.
• In the Kitchen: Slice it thin and serve atop a bed of bresaola, or cube it into a farro salad with fresh mint and lemon zest.
• The Wine: Reach for a Sicilian white with some body, such as an Etna Bianco or a Catarratto, which complements the nuttiness without overpowering the fresh milk.

Technical Profile

Authentic Touch: In Sicily, this cheese is often enjoyed as a "merenda" (afternoon snack) with a few slices of rustic durum wheat bread and a view of the sea.
