Visit to the Bufale and Dairy farm with cheese tasting
Description
Visiting our farm means exploring a historical reality of the Tuscan Maremma, a traditional family farm - which today has been able to transform itself into a 4.0 company based on the concept of circular economy. A journey between tradition and innovation. The route of the guided tour shows the entire sustainable supply chain of the company: from agriculture for the production of buffalo feed to cattle breeding in large outdoor fenced areas; from the production of milk to its transformation into cheese in the company dairy; from the use of agricultural waste to produce renewable energy in a biogas plant to reuse the process residue as an organic fertilizer.

Itinerary
The guided tour includes the dairy, the buffalo breeding and the biogas plant, with a tasting of buffalo cheeses at the end of the visit. Our agronomist will welcome you to the company and accompany you along the way. The first stop is a visit to the Dairy where guests can watch the dairy production. The cheese processing is visible from the store, which is separated from the laboratory by a glass window; for the little ones there is the possibility of watching television that shows live images of the laboratory. Then we will continue on foot, between the dairy and the stable, where it will be possible to get close to the animals and in spring and summer see the newborn calves. Meanwhile, technical explanations will be given on the breeding of livestock and on the animals themselves. The last stop on the route is the biogas plant. Once the outdoor visit is over, the group will return to the dairy's point of sale to end the journey with a tasting of the products that were made with buffalo milk exclusively produced by the company, accompanied by salami and wines from other local companies. The initiative aims to bring everyone closer to the world of cattle breeding and dairy production in a traditional and at the same time innovative company, which respects the cycles of nature and focuses on animal welfare and on the quality of the finished product.

They are the best for buffalo mozzarella and derived products; too bad they no longer slaughter buffalo and veal!
the mozzarella are delicious the yogurt split all good The braid of buffalo delicious
What an amazing experience - driving up; getting shown the different products, tasting and then getting amazing help to select our tasting plate and consuming outside. Amazing, amazing, amazing.
Let's hang on to these local realities that allow quality food at prices below large retailers. In addition to mozzarella from 100,200,500gr up to 3 kg, braid up to 5 kg and veal and buffalo meat on reservation. Buffalo ricotta is worth trying.
Very interesting and a fun tour for all of the family. The tasting of the food/cheese was delicious!!
Despite the heat, had a nice tour! You will be taken completely into the history of specifically this farm, and what it stands for now, at this moment. How many buffalo there are, how many people work there and how much attention is paid to delivering only fresh products. At the end of the tour we received a delicious tasting. The plate with all types of cheeses was fantastic but also an abundance of food. Recommended, also for families with children. Compliments to the interpreter!
Worth seeing and interesting, the cheese tasting was good! You can buy fresh cheeses in the shop.
Loved Diego at the farm. He thought the tour was 9:30 so maybe trip advisor needs to update? Or maybe call ahead. Not everyone speaks English but they were very helpful! Lots of flies made it a bit hard for us to focus on the Buffalo but it was still neat. Maybe bug spray would help? The cheese was delicious as was the hazelnut gelato! Yum!
Quick and efifcient visit of the farm. Tasting without any guidnace or explanation on how differently cheeses are made. Group price from 2 people minimum 100 euros!!! Does not worse the value at all.
This tour is a great way to learn about the use of bufalo milk to make cheeses. Amazing tasting of the cheeses after the tour!
