All the milk that enters the establishment is pasteurized, subsequently refreshed to 38°C and envoy to the coagulation plant where it is then transformed into fresh curd: the natural rennet is added to the milk and after having coagulated, the curd is broken in parts of the greatness of a walnut and left in laying for the sedimentation. Around three quarters of the serum are sent to the production of the traditional ricotta, the remaining part is used for bringing the curd to maturation that, after having overcome the controls of the “Casaro” (dairyman), it is cut and sent to spinning machines. Here, with the addition of warm water to 88°C, it is mixed and sent to the forming machines that will give it the right shape and flavor.
