Weight: 1 lb. Fresh Wheel

Experience a garden-fresh twist on a Sicilian staple. The Sifor Sfizioso Primo Sale with Rucola(Arugula) is a vibrant, aromatic cheese that captures the "bittersweet" soul of Mediterranean cuisine. By folding crisp, peppery arugula leaves into the delicate, young sheep’s milk curd, Sifor has created a cheese that is as refreshing as a summer salad.

This 1 lb. wheel is the perfect choice for those who love a clean, herbal finish and a pop of natural color on their cheese board.

The Flavor Profile

• The Base: A classic, snow-white Primo Sale Pecorino. It is mild, sweet, and incredibly creamy, providing the perfect cooling counterpoint to the greens.
• The Infusion: Real rucola leaves are distributed throughout the paste. During the brief aging process, the greens infuse the cheese with their signature spicy, nutty, and slightly bitter characteristics.
• The Texture: Soft and supple with a slight "snap" from the fresh greens. It is moist, tender, and incredibly easy to digest.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions

The peppery notes of the rucola make this cheese a standout performer in savory applications.

• The Perfect Salad: Shave thin ribbons of Primo Sale Rucola over a beef bresaola carpaccio or a bowl of sun-ripened cherry tomatoes.
• The Panino: Layer thick slices with roasted red peppers and balsamic glaze for a gourmet vegetarian sandwich.
• The Wine: The "green" notes of the arugula pair beautifully with high-acid white wines. Try a Sicilian Grillo or a Sauvignon Blanc.
• The Drizzle: Enhance the herbal notes with a swirl of peppery Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a pinch of sea salt.

Technical Profile

Artisan Note: Because rucola is a fresh botanical, this cheese has a bright, grassy aroma that opens up beautifully when sliced. It is best enjoyed fresh to appreciate the crispness of the herb.
