The Territory Mountain’s flavour Our production is situated 700m over the sea level, in the rural area of Frignano’s mountain province of Modena. The climate, the altitude and the temperature range are all key features that favour the growth of herbs which characterize all the aroma of our cheese.
The Milk The wellness of our cows The milk is exclusively produced by cows born and raised within our farm. About 150 holstein fresian cows produce the milk used for the daily cheese production. The cattle is reared in open housing or in the pasture area where they rest in a calm and peacefull environment. Thanks to the attention we pay to the animal’s wellness, most of our cows are still active part of the production after 10 years. All the forages used to feed our cows are harvested within a range of 6 km from our farm.
