Supply chain

A fully local, fully Sicilian supply chain

Latterie Riunite’s supply chain values the resources of the Iblean territory, following a strictly geographically located path that is able to guarantee freshness, safety, quality, and service.

Milk collection

Our transportation vehicles collect freshly milked milk from qualified farms in the Iblean plateau every day, where cows are cared for while taking their well-being into account

Quality checks

Our internal laboratory analyzes the authenticity of the raw material before starting the processing. Analogous and repeated checks are carried out throughout the production process

Processing

The production phase takes place in compliance with precise quality standards. The process goes from storage to pasteurization, from coagulation to curdling, from spinning to the hardening belt, to salting

Distribution

Every day, our fleet, consisting of vans for regular deliveries and heavy vehicles for large deliveries, distributes our products to stores throughout Sicily

Our partners are the Iblean breeders

The Iblean plateau has always boasted numerous cattle farms of the Modica breed, where livestock is fed mainly on pasture, and which are our most trusted partners.

The farms with which
Latterie Riunite collaborates respect:

Animal welfare

Biodiversity of the contexts

Local traditions

The green and generous
pastures of the Iblei

Our farms and their pastures play a fundamental role in defining the quality of the products, as the spontaneous forage species typical of the territory and on which the cows feed, give the milk particular flavors and aromas, which make the cheeses that derive from them incomparable.

This primary relationship between dairy products and the territory is recognized by EU regulations as a requirement for the recognition of Mozzarella STG (Guaranteed Traditional Specialty).

Our farms are located in:

  • Ragusa
  • Chiaramonte Gulfi
  • Comiso
  • Giarratana
  • Monterosso Almo
  • Santa Croce Camerina
