Podere Bellavista

The activity of pastoralism, always characteristic of the Zambernardi family, has roots of almost a century of life, but only in 2000 by the brothers Mauro and Graziano Zambernardi, the Bellavista Dairy was born. The passion of the brothers and their families to follow, have pushed a step to their activity by moving soon from the assistance of sheep to the production of cheese. Today the breeding has almost 1000 garments and also the equipment of the dairy has grown in proportion to the new production needs, always safeguarding the handmade nature and enthusiasm of the first moments.

The processing

To make cheese, the milk is poured into a boiler (steel container), where it is heated to a variable temperature depending on the cheese to be obtained. Whether using raw milk or pasteurized milk, it is possible to inoculate selected milk enzymes to promote the fermentation processes through acidification, and for those cheeses that require it, insert the classic molds of cheeses with flowery or rind crust. Moreover, making cheese with raw milk means keeping all the microbiological characteristics that are a fundamental part of the birth of typical cheeses !

The territory

The Maremma Grossetana, or Maremma proper, is the central part included in the province of Grosseto, along the coast between the Gulf of Follonica and the mouth of the river Chiarone that flows into the sea south of the Argentario promontory and also includes the lower Valle dell’Ombrone.
Valle dell’Ombrone is the valley formed by the Ombrone river, which extends into the province of Grosseto, after the river has crossed the southern part of the Chianti Hills and the Crete Senesi area along its initial stretch. It also includes the gentle hills that rise around the river and delimit the orographic watershed, including the hilly area of ”I Triboli” where the famous cypresses of “San Quirico d’Orcia” rise.
Istia d’Ombrone is a fraction of the Italian town of Grosseto (Tuscany) located about 6 km east of the capital. The village of Istia d’Ombrone is served by the provincial road 159 Scansanese, which connects the city of Grosseto with Scansano and Manciano inland, and which constituted a stretch of the former highway 322 of the Collacchie, ending in Follonica.
