The
Latteria Riccianico is a small dairy in Mugello, located in an unspoiled area amid the woods and hills of Firenzuola, where we produce raw milk cheeses with organic feed from our farm; this is where
Scamorza is born
Scamorza
We are in the green Mugello area, here in our
farmhouse dairy we produce cheeses just like in the old days. 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 feed we produce on our farm. From spring to autumn our cows graze freely and feed on
wild spontaneous grasses.
Semi-hard raw-curd cow's milk cheese.
Pasta filata (stretched-curd) cheese, we brine-salt it and air-age it, giving it a lovely deep yellow rind.
Like all the cheeses from our dairy, our scamorza is also made with raw milk from cows raised on
organic mountain hay also produced on our farm. Our cows, in fact, graze freely in our hills feeding on
wild spontaneous grasses. In winter we feed them mainly with
organic feed produced on our farm.
The true stars of our cheeses are our cows. The excellence of the
Alpine Brown breed!
Aging is short, from 3 to 30 days.
