Caseificio Sociale di Manciano was born from an initial project of a few farmers who in the sixties decided to work together and combine their efforts to enhance the sheep's milk of their lands, and this is how Pecorino Toscano D.O.P. Biologico came to be
The Project
We are in Maremma, a land devoted to sheep farming which has been a source of livelihood over the years for many families. Gradually the cooperative grew and today it counts more than 250 members who supply their milk. At the same time, the members have increasingly invested in continuous improvement of the milk and in animal welfare. The sheep can indeed enjoy the surrounding nature and feed on grasses rich in aromatic herbs and plants. Caseificio Sociale di Manciano was born from an initial project of a few farmers who in the sixties decided to work together and combine their efforts to enhance the sheep's milk of their lands and the production of Pecorino. Over time the members certified their farms to produce Pecorino Toscano D.O.P. Biologico.
Pecorino Toscano D.O.P. BiologicoÂ
is a soft-textured pecorino cheese obtained from the processing of sheep's milk from organic farming coming from certified farms. Since Pecorino Toscano D.O.P. Biologico is a D.O.P, the production specification requires a minimum ageing period of 20 days for the application of the protection mark, although normally it is aged for 30-40 days before being tasted. In its aroma and sweet flavour we find all the fragrance of the green pastures and local herbs.
