The project
We produce only the best milk exclusively from Maremma farms and it is thanks to this that our cheeses have an unmistakable flavour. We care about the sheep welfareWe take care of their nutrition which is increasingly linked to herbs and at native 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 Sant'Anna High School of Pisa, of theUniversity of Pisa and ofUniversity of Florence for their precious scientific contribution.
There are ten members farmers of the Social Dairy who have joined the project. The aim is to improve the milk quality, rediscovering native essences resistant to the drought of the summer months, work towards having raw material availability throughout the year with longer grazing. Introduce sustainable agricultural practices. The aim is to ensure greater biodiversity and sustainability to the agricultural sector. Both from an environmental and economic perspective.
