The producer
Latteria di Chiuro - Chiuro (SO) - Lombardy
Why we chose them
The Latteria Sociale di Chiuro was founded in 1957 in the heart of Valtellina, born from the desire of a group of small farmers to join forces to create a
business and embark on a path of innovation. Today, it is a cooperative society made up of around thirty members, all from Valtellina: a choice that
aims at helping to maintain a real and virtuous economy in mountain villages and promote social balance. This concept was developed in the first
sustainability report drawn up by the dairy in 2024. The farms, all small in size, are located within a few kilometres from the dairy and mainly rear
Brown Swiss cows. Each barn is also certified for animal welfare and undergoes periodic checks to verify certain welfare indicators such as nutrition,
proper medication management, comfortable environmental conditions and hygiene. The local milk, collected daily, is processed for the production
of yoghurt and cheese within a few hours of milking, in a modern and efficient dairy: a short, transparent and controlled supply chain. The extra jams
used to enrich the yoghurts are also locally sourced, produced by the social cooperative "Il Sentiero" in Morbegno (SO).
