Raw whole ewe milk is set in a wooden vat with lamb or kid rennet paste at 34–35 °C in about 45 minutes. The lentil-size curd is pressed by hand into rush baskets, scalded about 4 hours in hot whey and dry-salted once or twice. Its name follows its age, from unsalted tuma to primosale, secondo sale and aged cheese of over 4 months.
Total time across the recorded steps: 18 days – 8.3 months

At a glance
Raw whole ewe milk is set in a wooden vat with lamb or kid rennet paste at 34–35 °C in about 45 minutes. The lentil-size curd is pressed by hand into rush baskets, scalded about 4 hours in hot whey and dry-salted once or twice. Its name follows its age, from unsalted tuma to primosale, secondo sale and aged cheese of over 4 months. Made in 6 steps over 18 days – 8.3 months. The longest step, ripen, takes 8 days – 8 months (Regione Siciliana 2018) and runs at 12–16 °C (Regione Siciliana 2018). Natural microflora of the raw ewe milk does most of the fermenting.
It is made across Sicily by a method that is almost always the same. Each stage of salting and ageing has its own name, and the cheeses are scalded about 4 hours in hot whey.
Rind
None on tuma; then basket-marked, white-yellowish to straw, oiled on aged cheese
Size
18–35 cm across, 10–18 cm high, 4–12 kg (tuma 4–20 kg)
Tuma frescaJust made and unsalted; the curd is not broken and is eaten at once.
PrimosaleSalted once and eaten after 8–10 days.
Secondo saleSalted twice and ripened 2–4 months.
StagionatoSalted twice and ripened over 4 months; sharp.
With pepper or chilliBlack peppercorns or chilli flakes go into the curd.
Safety
The milk is raw and no starter is used. ANSES advises pregnant women, people over 65, people with weak immunity and young children to avoid raw-milk cheeses.
Hazards the sources name: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli, the main hazards ANSES names for raw-milk cheeses.
The regional sheet calls it perhaps the oldest cheese of Sicily and dates the first citations to the Odyssey, where Ulysses meets Polyphemus. It lists sources from Homer and Pliny to a 1933 study of Sicilian sheep and pecorino. In the Naturalis Historia, Pliny names the pecorini of Agrigento among the best.
