Because our suppliers respect the natural rhythms of animals!
Our goat cheese suppliers, such as La Servaja, Il Boscasso, Monte Jugo, and Lo Puy, are not only cheese makers but also breeders. Unlike large industrial producers, they only use milk from their own herds, which they care for carefully, respect the natural cycles of the animals, do not try to artificially influence them, for example with hormones, and prioritize quality over year-round availability.
Goats are seasonal animals that usually give birth in the spring (February to April). In order for them to give birth, they are no longer milked at the end of autumn. This allows their bodies to regenerate and prepare for pregnancy and birth. In winter, the amount of goat's milk decreases significantly or is not milked at all. Due to the limited availability of fresh pasture, the milk also has a different composition, which affects the taste and texture of the cheese.
During the winter, we therefore only offer mature goat's cheeses made from nutritious, aromatic and usually unpasteurized milk collected during the main season, when the herds graze freely on lush meadows, nibbling on wild bushes and aromatic herbs.
