The Quadalti farm was founded in 1929 in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma and is family-run. The company has developed over the years with the purchase of plots of land, cultivating around 200 hectares to date. Crops are based on the cultivation of cereals, fodder and pastureland to feed the sheep. Today, the farm raises a total of 2000 free-stall Sardinian dairy sheep. The sheep are fed an accurate and balanced diet using their own fodder and cereals, thus guaranteeing the production of high quality milk. In 2000, the farm evolved with the addition of a dairy, transforming milk into dairy products and various types of cheeses made from Maremma sheep.
Blueberry Pecorino Caseificio Seggiano, Tasting notes:
A good glass of Tuscan red wine is the perfect accompaniment for this cheese. The best combination for an end-meal to remember.
Caseificio Seggiano
The work of Caseificio Seggiano has ensured that the precious traditions of cheese making have not been lost. A range of cheeses with the flavor of the past, produced with an artisanal method handed down from father to son, which preserves the precious teachings while remaining in step with the times and constantly making improvements to achieve the perfect combination of past and present, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and a production increasingly broad and attentive to consumer tastes. Some essential phases of the production cycle are still carried out completely by hand, such as dry salting, turning and crust treatments of the various products. The most innovative technologies have taken over in the renewal of the washing phases, in the pasteurization of the milk and in the sterilization of the environments with the use of avant-garde instruments, to the benefit of the quality of the final product without renouncing the artisan workmanship that has always distinguished the Seggiano dairy. The raw materials and craftsmanship of the dairy make their cheeses unique and inimitable, all produced with milk from the area.

Thin, straw-white rind enclosing a soft, smooth and velvety texture. Its delicate flavour makes it ideal at any time of day, for a quick snack between meals or in a rich and tasty salad. Perfect with a young red wine.
Caseificio Maremma:
Located in the centre of the Tuscan coast, in Follonica, the company established its headquarters in the mid-1960s and since then has focused its dairy production on typical cheeses from the Maremma area that are renowned throughout the world. The factory, located in the industrial area of Follonica, covers an area of approximately 4,000 square metres, which houses the production facilities and the preparation of the finished product before sale.

The excellence of the milk used to produce the cheeses of Casificio Manciano is guaranteed by an in-house analysis laboratory, which makes it possible to carry out numerous and timely hygiene-quality controls throughout the production process.
