Origin

Known for its bold, spicy flavour, this cheese is a staple in Sicilian cuisine. The peperoncino gives the cheese a distinct, lingering aftertaste that balances perfectly with its creamy, milky texture. This cheese embodies the bold, robust flavours of southern Italy and is a true representation of Sicilian cheesemaking traditions.
