This pasta filata, or ‘spun paste’, style of cheese is named for the kneading and spinning process that develops a finely-textured network of soft, stringy curd before being formed into large balls called fior di latte*.What sets La Casa’s cheese apart from others on the market is the use of starter cultures which slowly develop superior flavour in the curd – much different to those that rely on citric acid to speed up acidification.Milky with a delicate tangy finish, Fior di Latte can be served fresh or melted.
* A figure of speech, Fior di Latte is a name given to something that showcases the highest quality of milk and is often used to describe fresh pasta filata cheese and unflavoured gelato where milk is the feature.
