| Curiosity | The Agricultural Cooperative Tumarrano was founded in 1971 in Cammarata (AG), from the need to bring together several small breeders of sheep and cattle, mainly for the slaughter of meat. In 2002, the collection and selling of milk was also introduced. In 2009, with the construction of the new cheese factory, the cheese making began and slaughter was abandoned. Today there are 60 members, all of which give sheep's milk from the sardinian breed, and they produce mainly ricotta and semi-mature pecorino. The historical president of the cooperative Francesco Madonia tells that the Pecorino Tumarrano is called by the local people the Gold of Cammarata for the yellow color of the pasta |

Why we chose them
Cooperativa Agricola Tumarrano is located in Cammarata (AG) in the heart of Sicily. It was founded in 1971 with the aim to support the small sheep
and cattle breeders of the area.
In 2009 the Cooperativa started the production of fresh Ricotta and semi matured and matured Pecorino and Canestrato cheeses, all exclusively
made from the milk collected from their farmers. Today the Cooperativa counts for 60 members that provide mainly milk from the Sarda sheep, one of
the greatest Italian sheep for cheese making.
Due to its golden and rich colour Pecorino Tumarrano has been called The Gold of Cammarata a term used also by the President of the
Cooperativa, Mr Franceso Madonia.
