The Latteria Riccianico is a small dairy in Mugello, located in an unspoiled area amid the woods and hills of Firenzuola; here we produce raw milk cheeses with organic forage from our farm, and this is where Fior di Greta is born Fior di Greta ours is a farmhouse dairy. We produce all our raw milk cheeses and the rinds are untreated. We have our own herd and feed our cows mainly with the organic forage we produce on our farm. From spring to autumn our cows graze freely and feed on wild spontaneous grasses. This raw milk cheese is handcrafted only, with no added industrial starters. A blue-veined cheese made from raw cow's milk, which preserves all the aromatic richness of unpasteurised milk. We work every day to innovate the traditional artisan cheesemaking of upper Mugello. Our aim is to safeguard and enhance the authentic, genuine taste of the flavours of the Tuscan land.
