Il Tiglio Dairy – Tradition and Flavor in the Heart of Calabria
Nestled in the peaceful, unspoiled landscape of Castelsilano, Il Tiglio Dairy is a true gem of the Calabrian countryside. Here, where rolling hills meet age-old pastoral traditions, you'll find more than just a dairy—it's a place where taste and culture come together.
In its artisan workshop, Il Tiglio produces a wide variety of cheeses, from fresh provola to aged specialties, including caciocavallo, ricotta, and many other traditional dairy delights. Each product is made using locally sourced milk and time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The result is an intense, authentic flavor that tells a story of passion, craftsmanship, and respect for nature.
But Il Tiglio is more than a dairy: it's also a working farm, managing its own livestock and embracing traditional pastoral practices. This ensures a short, transparent supply chain and high standards of animal welfare and environmental sustainability.
On-site, you'll also find a small market where visitors can purchase fresh dairy products along with other local delicacies. It’s the perfect stop for anyone looking to take home a genuine taste of Calabria or discover the region’s rich culinary heritage.
Whether you're exploring the natural beauty of the Sila Mountains or seeking a deeper connection with southern Italy's rural traditions, a visit to Il Tiglio Dairy is not to be missed. Warm hospitality, exceptional products, and a truly authentic experience await you in Castelsilano.
