Alcantara Formaggi

Sicilian cheeses from the slopes of Mount Etna

The story of Alcantara Formaggi begins in 1924, in the countryside at the foot of Mount Etna, and has been carried on by the founder's heirs. Today the dairy, Azienda Casearia Camuglia, works in Castiglione di Sicilia, in the Alcantara valley.

The cheeses follow traditional Sicilian methods, such as those of pecorino canestrato, and some are flavored with ingredients from the island: pistachio, lemon, chili pepper.
