The fresh milk that we use is collected every day from 30 Biellese farms which have long bred a native breed of cow called the Pezzata Rossa of Oropa.

The morphological characteristics of the Pezzata Rossa of Oropa fully satisfy the economic and productive requirements of the summer pastures where the cattle are taken for 4-5 months; it is a strong animal with muscular limbs. Cows on their second calving can produce 10-14 litres a day of particularly rich milk. Biellese farmers are very fond of this breed which is in danger of extinction and over the years have made great efforts to preserve and improve it.
