Description Description

In 2014, we designed and implemented the line of vegetable pecorino cheese. Compared with traditional pecorino, the difference mainly lies in the use of vegetable rennet rather than rennet of animal origin. By applying this process, we have obtained a cheese that is also suitable for those who follow a vegetarian diet.

Packaging / Format Natural cheese with rounded sides weighing 1.5 kg / whole wheel and vacuum-packed as follows: whole wheel, 1.5 kg; half-wheel, 0.75 kg; quarter-wheel 0.35 kg.

The Dairy The Dairy

The Val d'Orcia Dairy was established in 1964 with the aim of preserving the ancient dairy traditions of the region, which were endangered by local farmers abandoning their farms during those years. The goal was to support the shepherds who had relocated from Sardinia with their flocks to the mainland. In this valley, all the conditions were present to ensure a future in this sector and consequently enhance the local economy.

A precious milk sourced from flocks freely grazing among the untouched hills of Val d'Orcia, enriched by the unique fragrances and scents of this renowned land, celebrated for the distinctiveness of its natural and aromatic herbs such as thyme, savory, artemisias, and other common plants in the clayey soil of Val d'Orcia. These elements give the cheeses a distinctive and unmatched character.
