After careful and specific research, three companies in the Caltanissetta area (in the heart of Sicily) have been selected, giving life to this incredible “aperitivo” set.

• The “Primo sale” cheese with lemon is handcrafted by the Caseificio Dairy Terra Mia. With mastery and skill it recreates the cheese that was once called “primo sale cheese”. Over the years, the primo sale has been enriched with black pepper, dried fruit or citrus peel to enhance its aroma and flavor. In particular, the primo sale cheese with lemon has a delicate flavor in which the milk stands out; the addition of lemon zest gives it a yellowish color and a citrus smell and taste, reminiscent of its Sicilian origin.
• Bocconcini di salame al finocchietto from Salumificio Santa Maria, made from the highest quality meat with the addition of fennel seeds that give it a more delicate flavor.

Capperina, by Nasonte, is a delicate and tasty pesto made with mainly summer ingredients combined to create a balanced mix.
