In ancient times saffron was considered an energizing and antidepressant spice. The legend tells that, around 1090, Roger the Norman had asked the local cheese makers to prepare a cheese that would fight the serious depression of his beloved consort Adelasia. That was how the idea of adding saffron to cheese was born. The name Rosso Ibleo derives, not from the color given to the cheese, but from the fact that saffron is considered "red gold", now also grown on our Iblei mountains
