About The Product
Puglia Cheese Mozzarella Filone is a Fior di Latte pizza mozzarella produced by Cape Town's most awarded artisan cheese maker, founded in 2010 by Italian cheesemakers who set out to bring authentic Italian mozzarella craft to South Africa. The Filone is made from fresh Fior di Latte that is salt-treated and dried for 48 hours, a process that reduces moisture content and produces a firmer, more stable log format designed specifically for pizza applications. The result is a mozzarella that melts evenly, stretches well, and holds its structure under oven heat, delivering the consistent coverage and golden finish that professional pizza kitchens demand.
Built for the demands of high-volume pizza service, the 1kg log format is practical to slice, grate, or portion directly onto pizza bases, reducing prep time and waste across busy service. As an artisan product made locally in Cape Town, it brings genuine Italian mozzarella quality to pizzerias and restaurants that want performance without compromise. Supplied by Sapori, it suits pizzerias, restaurants, and catering operations across Cape Town and the Western Cape looking for a locally produced, craft pizza mozzarella with authentic Italian provenance behind it.
About Puglia Cheese
Puglia Cheese was founded in Cape Town in 2010 by three Italian friends from the Puglia region, driven by a simple ambition: to bring authentic Italian mozzarella craft to South Africa. What began as a small artisan dairy quickly earned recognition, winning multiple awards at the South African Dairy Championships and becoming the first producer of burrata in the country.
Every cheese in the Puglia range is made by hand using traditional Italian methods, from fresh Fior di Latte and burrata to scamorza, ricotta, and a dedicated pizza mozzarella. Locally produced but authentically Italian in character, Puglia Cheese brings genuine artisan dairy quality to professional kitchens and retailers across South Africa.
