The producer
Caseificio Il Fiorino - Roccalbegna (GR) - Tuscany
Why we chose them
Il Fiorino dairy was founded by Duilio Fiorini in 1957 in Roccalbegna, in the Maremma region. Today it is run by his daughter Angela and her
husband
Simone, who combine the founder's experience and traditional recipes with an innovative vision of the company, both from a technological and
market perspective. Il Fiorino began participating in various international competitions: since 1964, when it received its first award at the Saturnia
cheese competition, Angela and Simone have collected over 200 medals at events such as the World Cheese Awards, Mondial du Fromage,
Trofeo
San Lucio and other important contests. As proof of its deep connection with the Maremma, Il Fiorino only processes milk from sheep raised within
a
40 km radius of the dairy, maintains the craftsmanship of certain stages of production and ages the best cheeses in the family cave, earning it the
P.A.T. (Traditional Agri-Food Products) certification.
