Distefano Giorgio Az. Agr. Orobianco

Giorgio Distefano's agricultural operation in Ragusa produces Ragusano DOP, the monumental stretched-curd cheese indigenous to southeastern Sicily. Each wheel weighs 12–16 kilograms, its rind deepening from golden to straw-yellow as it ages. The raw-milk foundation demands strict adherence to protected protocols spanning a fifteen-municipality zone, where specific cattle breeds and pasture terroirs shape the cheese's texture and flavour. Distefano's commitment reflects the Sicilian craft of transforming milk into geometry: a parallelepiped form that has remained essentially unchanged for centuries.
