What began as a desire to enhance the family farm and our territory has grown into an integrated and sustainable supply chain project, to become La Maremmana, a brand that aims to bring our buffalo cheese to the world.
What we do
On our land, we cultivate cereals and fodder to feed our animals; we breed buffaloes in large open-air areas; we manage their milk production in a state-of-the-art cowshed; and we breed Maremma cows in the wild, preserving this indigenous species for limited meat production.
In our dairy, we process our own, exclusively farmed buffalo milk to produce high-quality cheeses. We also take care of the sale of our products both directly, in our sales outlets, and through distribution to shops and restaurants.
Finally, we produce renewable energy from agricultural waste and reuse the residue of the process as organic fertiliser.
WHO WE ARE
From finance to farming in Maremma
La Maremmana was born in 2013 from an idea of Guido Pallini. After working in London, in a Japanese investment bank, he decided to return to his homeland and relaunch the family business that until then only produced milk, expanding it into cheese production.
Our philosophy
We cultivate the land responsibly, breed our animals with the utmost care for their welfare, carefully process the milk from our buffaloes into a variety of cheeses, and produce renewable energy in our biogas plant.
Our philosophy is based on respect for animals and the cycles of nature.
We hold ourselves accountable to our ethical and environmental standards and are happy to show you what we do.
OUR FARM
We pay attention to the entire production chain
A determining factor in the quality of our milk and end products is that we carefully control the supply chain. This is why we grow the fodder and cereals necessary to cover about 80% of the feed of our 600 buffaloes.
We are artisans of milk
Every day in the company’s dairy we transform the milk from our buffaloes into a variety of cheeses, both fresh and mature. Our cheesemaker, Francesco, is from Battipaglia, the cradle of the ancient buffalo mozzarella tradition. All cheeses are processed in accordance with artisan traditions, without the use of additives or preservatives.
Fresh Cheeses
In addition to hand-spun buffalo mozzarella, we produce ricotta, yoghurt, burrata, and many other fresh cheeses made entirely from our own buffalo milk.
Matured cheeses
Alongside the typical cheeses that represent the tradition of buffalo milk, there is a variety of French-inspired mature cheeses.

We are proud to be one of the few farms that still keep the ancient tradition of the butteri alive. Mario, on horseback, manages our Maremma cows that live in the wild, grazing in the hills of the Capalbio farm.
Visit our farm
You will walk in the open air, next to cultivated fields, and see the animals moving around in large enclosed spaces. As you get closer, you will discover how curious buffaloes are! You will visit the cowshed and the biogas plant, again accompanied by our agronomist. Finally, you will taste the buffalo cheeses handmade by our cheesemaker.
In the visits organised in the morning, you will also have the opportunity to observe cheese production, through the glass window that separates the sales point from the processing workshop.
Visits have a cost and are by reservation only; access to the company is only allowed with an accompanying person for safety reasons, please email us to arrange a date and time.
We are happy to welcome you!
Stay in our Agriturismi
