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 towns â this is where San Giorgio - Mixed-milk Cheese is born
The Project
We produce using only the best 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, taking care of 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 that involves the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna di 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 that are resistant to summer drought, and working towards ensuring raw material availability throughout the year 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.San Giorgio - Mixed-milk Cheese
