Fior di Latte

« Back to Glossary Index

Fior di latte is a type of semi-hard cow’s milk cheese from Italy with a milky, custard-like texture. It is salty in taste and can be sold either with or without a rind.

The name “fior di latte” means “flower of milk”.

The cheese takes its name from the appearance of the whey on the outside once it has begun to age, resembling faded pastel flowers.
