We are in the
Maremma hinterland, here, in 1961, thanks to the will of 21 local farmers, the
Caseificio Sociale di Manciano was born, which today boasts as many as 250 member farmers of small and medium-sized sheep flocks between
Manciano and its neighbouring municipalities: this is where
Lactose-Free Pecorino is born
The Project
We produce only with the finest milk exclusively from
Maremma farms, and it is thanks to this that our cheeses have an unmistakable flavour. We care deeply about the
wellbeing of the sheep, and we look after their diet, increasingly linked to
herbs and
native plant essences. Over time we have developed a project that combines the quality of sheep's milk with environmental sustainability. To achieve this we use both product and process innovation. A project involving the
Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa, the
University of Pisa and the
University of Florence for their valuable
scientific contribution.
As many as ten member
farmers of the Caseificio Sociale have joined the project. The goal is to improve
milk quality, rediscovering
native plant essences resistant to summer drought, and working towards ensuring raw material availability all year round with longer grazing periods. Introducing sustainable farming practices. The aim is to guarantee
greater biodiversity and sustainability for the agricultural sector, both environmentally and economically.
Lactose-Free Pecorino
This product is suitable for all those who are
lactose intolerant, lactose being the main sugar found in milk. Unlike the traditional product, the
lactase enzyme is added to the milk used to produce lactose-free Pecorino, capable of
breaking down lactose into its two components, glucose and galactose,
easily assimilable sugars.
The white, soft paste with a sweet milky flavour, due to a maturation period of just 10-15 days, makes this product excellent to enjoy on any occasion.
