Busti Formaggi S.p.A.

In Fauglia, nestled in the Pisa hills, the Busti dairy shapes Pecorino Toscano DOP using methods that have remained almost unchanged. The business began in 1955 through the initiative of Alessandro and Remo Busti, shepherds from Alta Garfagnana, and even today, the family collects sheep's milk daily with their own vehicles, maintaining a direct relationship with local breeders. This short supply chain is what allows for creamy and tender cheeses, capable of withstanding both short aging and prolonged maturation. Over seven decades, the range has expanded without abandoning the original techniques: each wheel reflects the character of Tuscan milk and the care in selecting raw materials. The result is a pecorino that changes character over time, from the milky sweetness of young cheeses to the denser, more savory texture of mature versions. The dairy welcomes visitors in Fauglia: it's worth a stop to observe the production process up close and taste the different ages directly at the source.
