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 farms between
Manciano and its neighbouring municipalities: this is where
La Laguna - Formaggio Misto comes from.
The Project
We produce only with 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, and we take 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 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 the availability of raw material 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.
