Producing
A story of Love, Traditions,
crafting and people
Tuscany, together with Sardinia, leads in sheep cheese production.
It can be considered the cradle of cheesemaking, thanks to its Etruscan heritage, where sheep husbandry was already widespread during the Bronze Age.
Flocks grazing on Etruscan soil are mentioned by authors of the Hellenistic and Roman eras. The renowned cheeses of Luni are discussed by Pliny the Elder (Nat. Hist. XI.241).
We are also informed of the presence of Etruscan livestock farms in Southern Etruria by Plutarch (Tib. 8.7). Pliny the Younger (Plin. Epist. VIII.20) tells us of flocks in the territory of Roselle.
History and tradition are fundamental to understanding the art of cheese production. Every product embodies the memory and passion of the people who, through their actions, pass knowledge down from generation to generation.
