The Diary
In January 2001 the Dairy Farm Seggiano set up its business: the two partners and cousins Roberto Governi and Gabriele Fabbri shared the love and passion of their family’s tradition that dated back to the 60s and, until 1990, had been the fortune of their parents in the village of Seggiano.
Heirs to valuable and precious family tradition, Gabriele and Roberto joined forces and used their experience to give new life to the dairy.
The result is a range of cheeses with flavours of the past, products made using traditional methods handed down from father to son, which preserve invaluable lessons while keeping up with the times.
Constant improvements are made to obtain the perfect blend between past and present, tradition and innovation, craftsmanship and mass production.
Products
The secret of an excellent production originated from a traditional dairy family’s recipe. Selected raw materials and dairy craftsmanship make Seggiano Pecorino exclusive and inimitable cheeses. Indeed we only use local highly valued milk coming every day from our reputed farmers.
Territory
Seggiano is a charming little village on the slopes of Monte Amiata in the south of Tuscany, between Val d’Orcia (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the province of Grosseto. It is well known for the production of typical local products representing the truly legacy of this stunningly beautiful part of Tuscany.
Seggiano is a truly unique and unspoilt place; by visiting Seggiano you can relive the simplicity and the artisan methods that have never changed over the years in cheese production.
This is why chestnuts, mushrooms and Pecorino, which The Seggiano Dairy proudly distributes worldwide, are currently the basis of a significant environment and consumer protection policy in order to save and protect the pureness and authenticity of these local products.
In a slice of our Pecorino you can find the flavours and aromas of this part of Tuscany.
Every evening Seggiano is painted with shades of pink, offering an amazing view. The roofs and the facades of this little village, perched between Monte Amiata and Val d’Orcia, magically take on a pinkish hue as sunset brings each day to an end.
