Primo Sale (aged 30 days) by Vantia is Sicilian traditional cheese made with sheep's milk. Sweet milky, and tangy in flavor, this Primo Sale is packed with Pesto and authentic Genovese Basil DOP (a label that guarantees that the basil was cultivated using traditional methods in its land of origin) for an extra punch of flavor.
Primo Sale, or "young salt" in Italian, is a traditional Sicilian staple. This cheese has ancient origins and is believed to have been around since the sixth century BC. Primo Sale is formed when small amounts of rennet are added to the milk as it thickens slowly. After the curd is formed, it is left to drain separately. This results in a sweet taste reminiscent of milk and a semi-firm, almost crunchy texture. You can discover the world's best primo sale cheese in our expertly curated collection at Yummy Bazaar.
Primo Sale Cheese is brought to you by Vantia, Musco Food's private label. Musco Food is a family-run company that has been importing and distributing specialty food since 1926.
