Our Italian tutor brought some along to the class this evening, freshly acquired from a local market in Sicily.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuma_(cheese)
Flavour-wise tasted blind I reckon it might have been difficult to identify it as cheese, as it was fresh, light and with a subtle fruitiness. Texturally just a little firmer than Burrata/Mozzarella. Still a little moisture that is released when cutting it. Definitely something I'd put on a varied cheeseboard given the chance, and would be the cheese for someone who sometimes finds most cheeses a little too rich after a meal.

Sounds like Asiago Presato a bit? I think one of the worlds most “unappreciated” cheeses
