Description
Primo Sale is a semi-soft cheese made from cow’s milk. The name itself literally means “first salt” and is used to describe early stages of maturation. Primo sale is an “unrefined” fior di latte, in fact after ripening and draining of the curd, the artisan will skip few phases of the more traditional cheese making process. He will cut the curd in small cubes, season them (with salt only or salt and herbs) and will then stow them in the traditional fuscelle used for the ricotta, where is left to rest and settle. Because the cheese is young, it has a bright white colored pate and milky in flavor.
Primo Sale is available in one format only but it could be ordered plain or flavored (with black pepper, and other herbs).
