Tuma Persa Cheese From Sicily

This is the “pasture-raised” version of tuma persa: it is made with milk from animals fed exclusively on grass, which gives the paste its characteristic yellow color in the cheese.

The name “tuma persa” comes from the fact that this cheese was once produced in large quantities, but was then forgotten. In recent years, however, tuma persa has been rediscovered, and today it is once again one of Sicily’s most popular cheeses.

• Milk: cow
• Type: soft
• Texture: compact
• Rind: Natural
• Color: yellow-ochre
• Flavor: sweet and spicy
• Aroma: blue cheese

This cheese pairs well with full-bodied and aged red wines, wildflower honey, spicy pear and quince mustard. But it also goes well with broad beans, pea cream and fresh figs on homemade bread during a summer brunch.
