Curiosity | Gianfranco and Salvatore Bussu are not only pastors, but also produce an excellent cheese from the milk of their sheeps. The dairy is located on the Campeda, in the municipality of Marcomer in the province of Nuoro. The 1800 Sarda sheeps are free to pasture in approximately 200 acres and never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products. If needed they are fed with the possible addition of forage produced on the farm without the use of chemical fertilizers. The cheese matures in natural cellars |
Our selection | This cheese has been selected not only for its unique flavour but also because for us represents the basic agricultural philosophy of the territory. It is only produced from the milk of Sarda sheeps bred to a certain extent in the wild. Antibiotics are never used and also the rennet used to coagulate is obtained from Sarda breed lambs |

The producer
Caseificio Debbene - Macomer (NU) - Sardinia
Why we chose them
The Debbene Dairy is located in Sardinia, on the plateau of Campeda, in the town of Macomer in the province of Nuoro. Gianfranco and Salvatore
Bussu, besides producing excellent cheeses, are first of all pastors and they manage their company in a strictly organic way. The 1800 Sarda breed
sheep are bred in the wild and have about 200 hectares of available pasture. Power is only enhanced by the addition of organic feed produced on
the farm, without chemical fertilizers. Animals are never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products. Debbene cheeses are produced exclusively
with milk obtained from the Sarda breed sheep that are reared on the farm. The rennet that is used to coagulate is obtained from the Sarda lambs.
