Drain liquid from cheese and pat dry. Cut cheese into 1/4 inch thick planks. Press cheese into seasoned flour to coat both sides.
In a sauté, pan, add remaining 2 tablespoons Fustini&rsquo,s Gremolata oil and heat over medium heat. When oil is hot, add cheese slices. When you add the last slice, it will be time to turn over the first one. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Pour dressing over cheese and serve immediately with crusty bread and/or a salad.
