Cheeses

The AranciaDoc® Sicilian cheeses tell an ancient story of pastures, skilled hands and genuine milk. Every product is made in local dairies where the art of transforming milk has been handed down for generations, keeping the authentic flavours of Sicilian tradition intact.

From the typical Sicilian pecorino cheese to the fresh provola, from the smoked provola to the ricotta salata, up to the more original pistachio cheese, our selection combines taste, wholesomeness and craftsmanship.

The tradition of Sicilian cheeses

Sicily is one of the richest Italian regions for dairy specialities. Its cheeses are made from top-quality raw material: sheep’s and cow’s milk from local farms, processed by traditional methods and in respect of natural timing.

The variety of typical Sicilian cheeses reflects the diversity of the land: mountains, hills and plains that offer different pastures and give the milk unique scents.
The result is a range of flavours from sweet and delicate to bold and aromatic, perfect for anyone who loves an authentic, natural taste.

The AranciaDoc® dairy specialities

In this selection of Sicilian cheeses you will find some of the best-loved specialities of our dairy tradition:

• Pistachio cheese: a meeting of the creaminess of cow’s milk cheese and the crunch of Sicilian pistachio, ideal as a starter or to enrich gourmet cheeseboards.
• Local pecorino: a primo sale pecorino, soft and slightly savoury, made from pasteurised sheep’s milk and processed fresh using ancient country techniques.
• Local provola: a fresh Sicilian pasta filata cheese, with a sweet taste and an elastic texture, perfect with cured meats or grilled vegetables.
• Smoked provola: a variety with an intense, aromatic scent, made with whole cow’s milk and a delicate natural smoking that enhances its flavour.
• Ricotta salata: made with cow’s milk whey and sheep’s milk, salted and naturally matured. Ideal for grating over typical Sicilian pasta dishes such as pasta alla Norma.

Every product is the result of a careful selection of the best dairies on the island, where quality is guaranteed by hand processing and the exclusive use of genuine ingredients.

The smoked provola is a typical Sicilian cheese that lends itself to hot dishes or gourmet sandwiches, while the Sicilian pecorino and the ricotta salata are the undisputed stars of traditional cooking, from baked pasta dishes to grilled vegetable dishes.
