Our selection | When we met Egidio and Mario we were very impressed by the enthusiasm they put into their projects and their desire to experiment. new things, such as the use of mechanical means to clean the milk: we offer you this Italian hard cheese that is not just a great cooking cheese, but it is also suitable to be tasted in purity |

Why we chose them
In the eighteenth century Stefano Fiandino began the Fiandino's dairy tradition in Cuneo. Stefano was a Milan breeder and dairyman who decided
to
move to Demonte to continue the agricultural activity. Several generations were succeeded keeping dairy vocation up to the Great Grandfather,
the
beginning of the twentieth century moved the business to Villafalletto where farms are still located. But it is precisely with Egidio and Mario that
there
was a change. When we met the two cousins were very impressed by the enthusiasm that they put into their projects. We were won over by their
butter, the 1889. But it has also affected us their desire to be known also through a vegetable rennet cheeses line. Cheeses identified by Kinara
mark · Greek translation about Cynara cardunculus · cardoon used to get rennet. In fact the Kinara method involves the use of vegetable rennet
instead of animal rennet.
