Monteporo

Caseificio Monteporo is run by the Pugliese family in Spilinga, a village on the Monte Poro plateau in Calabria, best known as the birthplace of 'nduja. The family have been master cheesemakers since 1981.

Milk comes from local herds, and the cheeses follow Calabrian tradition: provola, smoked provola, fresh and aged pecorino, mixed-milk cheeses. Alongside them the family makes the cured meats of the area: capocollo, soppressata, sausages and, of course, 'Nduja di Spilinga.

Craftsmanship, tradition and simple ingredients are the rule: the same flavors you would find at a family table on Monte Poro.
