Tax includedCanestrati Cheeses are dairy products that bring with them the art of Sicilian artisanal dairy production. Thanks to their unique flavour, which in this Primo Sale is given by the union of the creaminess of sheep's milk with the sweetness of whole almonds.
It is one of the oldest dairy preparations produced on the island. Produced with sheep's and cow's milk, Primo Sale is a low-mature cheese and for this reason it is still slightly soft and has a pleasant flavour.
In this version it is enriched with whole almonds which give further goodness and deliciousness to this soft cheese made only with Sicilian milk.
Its color tends towards straw yellow, the flavor is sweet and fragrant. The consistency is of soft paste.
Whole, medium-sized wheels can weigh 1 to 2 kg. On Gocce di Sicilia it is possible to purchase it in vacuum-packed pieces from 250 to 600 grams.
Our cheese is handcrafted using ancient methods and milk from farms in eastern Sicily.
Typical cheese of Sicilian recipes, it is very versatile in the kitchen. It can be consumed as a table cheese or to flavor other dishes, both cooked and raw. Excellent to use, for example, in the preparation of baked pasta, meatballs, rice balls or meat rolls. Or it finds its place in an appetizer dish, accompanied very well by cured meats, pickles and preserves. Gocce di Sicilia recommends you try it alongside our organic aubergine caponata!
If you want to try a young but tastier cheese, try our Primo salt pepper cheese, unbeatable softness and flavour. Or if you want a spicier flavour, try the matured cheese with black pepper, a greater maturation and an inviting flavour.
