Caseificio Sociale Manciano Soc. Agr. Coop.

In Manciano, in the province of Grosseto, Caseificio Sociale Manciano transforms sheep's milk from the Maremma into Pecorino Toscano DOP, the sole denomination on which the company focuses its work. The raw material comes from the extensive Tuscan production area—286 municipalities—but it is the Grosseto character that defines the cheeses, from fresh, short-aged varieties to semi-hard, long-aged wheels. The cooperative complements its cheesemaking craft with scientific contributions from the universities of Pisa and Florence, a dialogue with research that refines processes without straying from the Disciplinare. The result is a range covering different aging periods from the same milk, where the care for the raw material is then evident in the texture and aroma. The dairy opens its doors to visitors: a stop in Manciano allows one to follow the journey from Maremma sheep's milk to the finished wheel, understanding firsthand how the Grosseto territory takes shape in every Pecorino.
