| Curiosity | La Maremmana mozzarellas are sweet and delicate, made by the expert hands of a cheesemaker from Campania but with a clear personality. Processing begins at 4 a.m.: the raw milk is heated, then the self-produced whey starter is added first and then the rennet. After 4 hours of curd maturation, stretching and then moulding takes place. Subsequently, the mozzarellas are cooled in tub: the thermal shock allows the creation of the outer skin and texture.The mozzarella is then stored in the brine, a mixture of water, salt, lactic acid and whey in precise proportions, which helps to give the mozzarella its flavour |
| Our selection | The farm is a virtuous example of circular economy, short supply chain and sustainability in all fields: the biogas plant transforms cereals, livestock and dairy processing wastes into energy; the cultivation of cereals is aimed at feeding the buffaloes; all the milk produced by the stable is processed. The concept of social responsibility shines through in all company choices: from how fields are managed to animal welfare, from employee management to renewable energy production. Respect, ethics, transparency: these are not just words but concrete choices |

The producer
La Maremmana - Principina Terra (GR) - Tuscany
Why we chose them
La Maremmana' is the name of the buffalo-milk mozzarella produced by the Inno al Sole Dairy, run by the young Guido Pallini. After gaining some
experience abroad in the world of finance, he decided to return to Tuscany to take over the family business founded by his father.
The Maremmana is a native cattle breed of southern Tuscany and northern Lazio, rustic and very hardy, with large lyre-shaped horns and a coat
with greyish hues. The farm was originally established to rear this beef cattle breed, but during the crisis of the 1980s, it became necessary to
diversify the business. Marcello Pallini, Guido's father, fell in love with buffaloes during a trip to Salerno - robust and intelligent animals - and decided
to reintroduce them to the Maremma. The Inno al Sole Dairy is situated in Principina Terra, a hamlet of Grosseto, and has been converted from a
19th-century farmhouse, 500 metres from the barn. It is flanked by the farm shop, separated from the production area only by a glass partition to
allow customers to watch the production process. Today, the barn is home to around 400 buffaloes, 250 of which are lactating, reared in free-range
conditions and fed on home-grown cereals and fodder. Guido has succeeded in breathing new life into a business that has been in the farming trade
for 200 years, back when transhumance was still practised in the Maremma.
