Fior Di Latte - The Ultimate Pizza Topping
Fior di latte – cubed, sliced, shredded or balls?
Fior di latte, a classic Italian cheese commonly used in authentic pizza making, offers a unique flavour profile that sets it apart from its well-known cousin, Mozzarella. With availability in four different cuts—balls, cubed, shredded, sliced and chip cut—fior di latte provides any discerning pizza chef with the subtle nuances to complement and enhance every pizza.
Derived from cow's milk, fior di latte exhibits a more subtle and delicate taste compared to the tangy and slightly salty notes of Mozzarella. Smooth, soft and with an elastic texture, the lighter flavour profile allows fior di latte to complement a wide array of dishes without overpowering other ingredients, making it a versatile choice for cheese lovers and a go-to for best-in-class pizza makers, as it allows the other elements of the pizza to shine – the subtle flavours of the dough, the quality ingredients in the tomato base, and the personally selected toppings.
The first cut, fior di latte balls, are round portions of cheese typically stored in brine. These individual servings are perfect for antipasti platters, salads, or as a key component in a classic Caprese salad. The brine adds a hint of saltiness to the creamy cheese, enhancing its overall flavour, while the shape allows for large pieces to be added to pizzas for tasty mouthfuls in every slice.
Try Latteria Sorrentina Fior Di Latte Balls. Founded in the 19th century, Latteria Sorrentina produces a wide range of classic Italian cheeses, including this case of ten soft and delicately flavoured fior di latte balls.
Fior di latte cubetti are bite-sized pieces that are more commonly used as toppings for pizzas, salads, and other dishes. The small size of the cubes allows for even distribution, ensuring that each bite is filled with the creamy goodness of the cheese. Cubed Fior di latte adds a luscious and velvety texture to pizzas and provides a delightful contrast to the crispness of vegetables or the rich flavours of other ingredients.
