Fior di Latte (Fresh Cow Mozzarella)
Flower of Milk — Made Fresh on Vancouver Island
Inspired by the Italian tradition and crafted with Canadian care, our Fior di Latte takes its name from the Italian word fior, meaning “flower” — a nod to its delicate, blossoming flavour and silky texture. Made fresh every week at our Courtenay cheese factory, this is true handcrafted mozzarella, shaped by local milk and artisan skill.
Fior di Latte is known for its elegant simplicity:
– A tender, yielding bite
– Soft, creamy texture
– A rich, milky sweetness that fills the palate
– A subtle tang that adds balance and depth
Fresh, pure, and beautifully versatile, this cheese embodies the essence of authentic Italian mozzarella — but with the character of Vancouver Island milk behind it.
Why It Stands Apart:
• Made weekly on Tuesday mornings usually for peak freshness
• Crafted from high-quality Canadian cow’s milk
• No shortcuts — just traditional methods and careful hands
• Perfectly mild, so every pairing shines
Serving & Pairing:
Slice it on fresh tomatoes with basil and olive oil, tear it over pizza just out of the oven, or scatter it onto a grazing board with stone fruit and prosciutto.
This cheese pairs confidently with Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, or crisp white wines that let its gentle flavour lead.
Fior di Latte is the simple beauty of milk transformed —
fresh, honest, and ready to inspire your table.
