The cows are milked the night before or at dawn end and then the milk goes directly in the dairy, to become mozzarella, cheese and fresh milk cheese and ricotta exclusively handmade. The handmade Guardiese mozzarella and other cheeses have received numerous awards over the years, with the first prize in "The cheeses of Buongusto" Gessopalena the second prize in the national "Golden Grolle-Formaggi d ' autore ". We breed about 85 brown Italian cows; our breed is renowned and offers the best milk, rich in protein, with exceptional aromas and flavours. Reared freely, a method that improves their quality of life, our animals can move freely in the barn, even choosing the place in where to give birth. In the Verna family, not only do we produce cheeses, we also cultivate the land in a natural way, using manure as fertilizer, following the rotation of crops, cultivating only seasonal products. We also cultivate many varieties of forgotten fruits, just like those that were present in the old farmhouses and now unfortunately are disappearing
