There was a time when the Fiordilatte dei Monti, which overlooks the Sorrentine Peninsula and the Amalfi Coast and owes its name to the abundance of milk, was traditionally shaped into cubes during transport on carts, with the cheeses tightly packed together. That cube has now returned to revive the custom of the Fiordilatte of the next day, ideal for Neapolitan pizza because it is dry and compact. A shape perfect for slicing with the stick, the inseparable companion of the pizzaiolo.

The production of Fiordilatte dei Monti takes place in the following stages:

– The process begins by heating whole cow’s milk to around 38°C.
– Then, microbial rennet is added: the milk is left to coagulate for a time period ranging from 20 to 40 minutes.
– At this point, the curd undergoes maturation through natural fermentation, a process that lasts about 3-5 hours.

The curd is then cut into strips and subsequently worked. The resulting product undergoes mozzarella making and stretching, which can be done either by hand or using machinery.

The Fiordilatte dei Monti is then hardened in containers filled with cold water and salted through immersion in brine. The entire process is completely natural, with no chemical additives ever used. This is precisely why making good Fiordilatte takes time!

Fiordilatte dei Monti is a typical ingredient for Italian dishes: once you try the genuine products of Latteria Sorrentina, you won’t be able to do without them. Order your Fiordilatte now!
