Sicily, Unpasteurised Ewe's Milk

The Casalgismondo Farm is situated in the centre of Sicily – close to the Greek-Roman site of Morgantina and the famous city of Piazza Armerina known for its mosaics. The farm is run on organic principles and Maria Rita d’Amico and her dairymen make very traditional cheeses. This cheese is an ancient recipe from Enna made by adding saffron to the curd. Together with whole black peppercorns the flavours are unique. Saffron has the capacity to bring out the subtlest flavours in partnered dishes, as well as adding that tangy spice inherent in the flowers from which it is harvested.
