Our milk comes exclusively from our members' farms
Since 1954, the Villanovesi Breeders' Cooperative has been producing high-quality pecorino cheeses in Sardinia, combining passion, tradition, and a spirit of solidarity. With over 150 members and 130 farms spread across 20,000 hectares, the Cooperative is founded on a philosophy of environmental respect and sustainability. A distinctive feature of the Villanovesi Breeders' Cooperative is that it processes milk directly from its member farmers, ensuring superior freshness and quality while maintaining a direct connection between producers and consumers. This collaborative model fosters a deep bond between the land, the people, and the products.
Cheese production follows the ancient dairy traditions of Sardinia, passed down through generations and combined with modern techniques that enhance flavors while ensuring high standards of hygiene and quality. Every stage of the process, from the morning milking to processing and aging, is carried out with expertise and care. The fresh milk, collected directly from cooperative members, is processed without intermediaries, preserving all its natural properties. Aging takes place in controlled environments, following time-honored methods to achieve products with a unique and unmistakable taste.
At the heart of the Cooperative’s production are pecorino cheeses, made exclusively from the milk of 30,000 sheep that graze freely on the lands of our members. These cheeses, the result of centuries of experience and shared knowledge, embody the best of Sardinian tradition and authentic flavors. Each wheel is the outcome of a meticulous artisanal process, from coagulation to hand-salting, ensuring superior quality in the final product. Available whole or in vacuum-sealed portions, the Cooperative’s pecorino cheeses offer consumers the excellence of a healthy, genuine, and certified product.
