Read more The company The Piano della Spina dairy is located in the northern part of Basilicata, in an area dominated by the Vulture, a volcanic mountain, which thanks to its lava has made the soil extraordinarily fertile. An area rich in fortifications and castles, in the foreground that of Melfi and Castel Lagopesole, built by Emperor Frederick II. In this district there is Filiano, a very unique municipality in that the central nucleus is flanked by 35 districts scattered in 7 hamlets. In 1966, some prehistoric shelters dug into the sandstone dating back to the Mesolithic period were discovered in the locality of Tuppo dei Sassi in the hamlet of Scalera. One of these is painted with figures of animals, vegetation and hunting in red ocher. The name Filiano derives from the tradition of spinning wool, linked to the breeding of sheep and goats; this activity is still present, but today it is aimed more at the production of the very famous pecorino cheese. And it is right here on the hill called “Piano della Spina” that the Piano della Spina dairy was born in 1987. Since then it has spread over an area of 12,000 square meters of which 4,500 are covered. Technology has been added to personal experience and traditional dairy techniques, allowing the company to expand further throughout the national territory. The supply of milk, collected only from local farms, guarantees the products tastes and flavors of ancient traditions. All stages of processing are monitored and carried out with the utmost respect for the most advanced hygienic-sanitary standards and Community regulations: HACCP self-control systems and EEC recognition. © Copyright 2011 | Piano della Spina Srl - VAT number 01721760765 To find out more about the cookies we use and how to delete them, see our privacy policy .
