Masterpieces which aren't just for looking at
Fresh Cheeses
Fresh Cheeses
Find Out MoreFresh cheeses are the biggest category of dairy products produced in Apulia. They are characterised by a lower fat content compared to matured cheeses and other types of dairy products, and by their milky and delicate taste.
Smoked Cheeses
Smoked Cheeses
Find Out MoreWe use a smoking system which is completely natural, without the addition of liquids or chemicals; it is carried out using wood chip ovens, which give our smoked cheeses an incredibly tasty flavour and a light and pleasant aroma.
Matured Cheeses
