Canestrato with figs
The Sicilian Canestrato aged with figs is a cheese made from pasteurized sheep’s and cow’s milk, typical of Sicilian tradition. It has a semi-hard texture and a distinctive rind formed by pressing the curd in reed baskets. During aging, the addition of figs imparts a unique flavor with delicate sweet and fruity notes that balance the intensity of the milk. It is perfect to enjoy on its own, with dried fruits, or paired with fresh white wines or light red wines that enhance its rich and aromatic taste.
