I Siciliani Primosale is a traditional Sicilian sheep’s milk cheese, in a whole 2.2-pound wheel. Its name, which means “first salt” in Italian, refers to both its unique cheesemaking method and its short maturation period of only 14–30 days. This gives Primosale its bright, fresh aroma and sweet, milky flavor with gentle grassy and earthy undertones. Mild yet distinctive, it’s one of Italy’s oldest sheep’s milk cheeses and a true expression of Sicilian tradition. The flavor lingers delicately with subtle tanginess and a lightly sour finish, making it a versatile cheese for many occasions.
Slice Primosale into wedges for a simple cheese board, cube it into salads, or pair it with olives, tomatoes, and crusty bread for a Mediterranean snack. It also shines when lightly grilled or baked, as the texture holds its shape while developing deeper flavors. This wheel is a beautiful way to bring a taste of Sicily to your table.
- Pairings: Crisp white wines such as Vermentino, Pinot Grigio, or Sauvignon Blanc complement its fresh, milky flavor.
Ingredients: Pasteurized sheep's milk, salt, rennet, starter cultures
