Ask any Neapolitan pizzaiolo what makes a pizza stand out, and most will point to the cheese. Fior di Latte, made purely from cow’s milk, gives chefs what they need: clean flavour, even melt and dependable stretch. Unlike buffalo mozzarella, it keeps its structure under high heat without releasing excess moisture. The result is a pizza that’s authentic, consistent to serve and true to tradition.

At Salvo 1968, we’ve been sourcing Fior di Latte from trusted Italian dairies for more than fifty years. We understand what professionals need - ingredients that deliver every time and make life in a busy kitchen simpler.

Neapolitan pizza is built on simplicity: a soft base, bright tomato and the right amount of cheese. With bake times of under ninety seconds at temperatures close to 500°C, every ingredient must perform perfectly.

Fior di Latte has become the preferred choice for this style because it copes well with intense heat and maintains an authentic finish. Fior di Latte gives consistent, reliable results that suit modern kitchens as well as traditional ones.

Fior di Latte - literally “flower of the milk” - is a fresh mozzarella made from cow’s milk, traditionally produced in southern Italy. Its mild flavour and balanced moisture make it ideal for fast-paced service where consistency matters.

Fior di Latte has less fat and acidity, giving it a clean taste and a stable texture in the oven.

Fior di Latte has a light, fresh milk flavour that complements tomato and dough rather than dominating them. This balance defines a true Neapolitan pizza. Diners might not know the name, but they recognise the clean taste and texture that make their pizza feel authentic.

Fior di Latte’s practicality makes it a good fit for pubs, takeaways, mobile units and restaurants of any size. It stores well, keeps its freshness and performs consistently whether supplied as a ball, pre-sliced or shredded.

That flexibility helps save time and reduce waste. Chefs value that it supports a variety of menu styles while maintaining Italian authenticity. For operations focused on efficiency and cost control, Fior di Latte offers both reliability and value.
