Mornings on the farm.
As much as we love making our authentic Italian cheese, it's the lifestyle that comes with it that does it for us. We often work late nights and long hours to ensure we produce only the best products for our clients. But in exchange, our mornings usually look like this. Now what’s not to love?

These dishes are the perfect inspiration for a weekend cheese-treat. No fuss, no fancy ingredients, just good cheese zhooshed up and made pretty. Simply pick your favourite.
Zelicious!

A spot of light after the storms. Welcome to our newest baby! This brave, beautiful buffalo calf was born during one of the worst storms in recent history. We are so proud of our resilient buffalo mom, and grateful to report that our whole Mediterranean water buffalo heard are thriving.

Porcini mushrooms are the unsung heroes of many authentically Italian dishes.
Their depth of flavour, texture and gorgeous colour make them the perfect risotto mushroom. Nutty, intense and deeply umami - these are delicious!
Add in handfulls of fresh parsley, heaps of finely grated Zandam Caciotta and the kitchen skills of Tino Delle Donne, and you have heaven in a bowl...👌🧀🍄‍🟫

Fun fact - Porcini means little pig! How cute is that?
(Porcini mushrooms are also called Cep, or Penny Bun mushrooms)

Who else has been coasting in a dream world of long weekends and lazy days? We love the (slightly) slower pace of the past few weeks, and it had us reminiscing the sweet life! 👌🧀
