The Boi Dairy Our land Photo gallery Contact us The Silvio Boi Dairy Our company, founded in the 1950s by the founder Silvio Boi, is currently based in Cardedu, province of Ogliastra, located in the central-eastern part of Sardinia, about 120 km from Cagliari and 15 km from the port and airport of Tortolì. . Ogliastra is a land historically dedicated to pastoralism of which it preserves the ancient traditions in relation to the breeding of flocks, so much so that it is known for the high quality level of the milk produced, both sheep and goat. Our dairy, with its decades of experience, has always produced the classic Sardinian pecorino. We are among the founding members of the "Consortium for the protection of Pecorino Sardo DOP". The production area includes exclusively milk produced in Sardinia and in particular in the province of Ogliastra whose milk comes from milking sheep and goats fed exclusively with fresh local fodder (the pastures are still in the wild) or hay. The dairy is today a modern industrial plant whose product retains the artisan characteristics both for the manual processing of the raw material and for the genuineness that we find in the finished product. The milk delivered, as well as the stables and the animals from which it comes, is subjected to the necessary health and hygiene checks in accordance with the regulations in force on the subject and scrupulously observing the provisions of EEC Regulations 29 April 2004 nos. 852 and 853. In compliance with the laws in force, the milk is subjected to fortnightly checks by the ARA Sardegna, the local ASL and the finished product is regularly checked by police bodies in charge such as NAS, Anti-fraud Unit. We currently produce Pecorino Sardo produced with whole sheep's milk, as well as mixed sheep and goat's milk, stored in suitable cellars whose temperature and humidity are constantly controlled for aging. Our cheese has a cylindrical shape with flat sides with straight sides. The rind is smooth, consistent, brown in color in the more seasoned forms; the paste is white tending to straw yellow with the progress of aging, compact with few holes, with a strong and pleasantly spicy taste. It is also a cheese with high nutritional and energy values. Among our products we also include cheeses derived from both seasoned and fresh goat's milk. Our factory is also equipped with the UNI EN ISO 9001: 2008 certification.
