Contact producer

The Caseificio dei Barbi is located at the historic Fattoria dei Barbi and it is the most ancient cheese laboratory in Montalcino: it was opened for the first time in the middle of the XIX century. The production of "cacio" (sheep’s milk cheese) is a local medieval tradition and Fattoria dei Barbi has wanted to maintain it. The cheeses include fresh, seasoned and many varieties of small-sized “cacini”, seasoned with different ingredients, from wine or truffle to chestnut honey and pollen.
