His passion for local dairy traditions, combined with his immense creativity, have allowed him to produce a wide variety of cheeses highly prized by gourmets around the world. At the Langa dairy in Farigliano, only exclusive specialties are produced, some of which, like Cusiè, mature and age for a long time in the cool, ancient cellars of Valcasotto, to form the Gran Riserva di Beppino Occelli. Beppino Occelli's quality extends throughout the entire supply chain: as Giuseppe tells us, we also pay particular attention to the selection of our stables.
