The producer
Caseari Di Venti - Calascibetta (EN) - Sicily
Why we chose them
Located in the territory of Calascibetta, a town with noble traditions, the Di Venti dairy, has been operating for more than thirty years in the field for
the production of typical Sicilian cheeses.
The Piacentino Ennese PDO can be produced only with the sheep's milk coming from native races, with lamb or kid rennet bred in the area of
production. The cheese is flavoured with saffron grown in production areas.
For several years Di Venti Dairy cultivates the saffron (Crocus sativus) as well, that is used in the production of the cheese.
