Occhipinti Giuseppe

Giuseppe Occhipinti crafts Ragusano DOP, the monumental stretched-curd cheese that defines southeastern Sicily. Each block emerges from raw milk and patient hands—a 12 to 16 kilogram architecture of golden rind and elastic paste. Operating within the designated fifteen municipalities of the Ragusano zone, Occhipinti perpetuates a cheesemaking discipline where the copper kettles and precise temperatures transform local dairy into a cheese of unmistakable character and keeping power.
