The producer
Fattoria Lischeto - Volterra (PI) - Tuscany
Why we chose them
Fattoria Lischeto was founded by Giovanni Cannas in the mid 80s, with the idea to blend farming with art and culture, tourism with nature and
history.
In 1990 Giovanni started also with the cheese-making, transforming only the organic milk of his own sheeps, lived in his land. Recently his sister
Rosita
joined him in the management of the whole farm.
According to Giovanni's dream, Lischeto is not just a farm, it is a magic place where culture, love for art and for nature, passion for history and for
tradition are blended together.
The 800 sheeps can graze freely in the 240 hectares of the farm, where forage is produced and where you can also find here and there some
artworks, thanks to Giovanni love for art. The milk is then transformed by Ruggero, the dairyman.
The farm is managed in the total respect of nature, men and animals, with a whole organic cycle of production, from seeding to harvest, from
breeding to cheese-making.
In the production, that is completely handcrafted, the purpose is to maintain and develop the tradition of the typical flavors of Tuscan farming. "We
only use the milk of our own sheeps - told us Giovanni - respecting the natural cycle of sheeps. This reason some of their cheeses are not always
available.
