Dairy Bussu Salvatore

Since 1971

The Bussu Salvatore Dairy began in 1971 with the purchase of the land where the farm stands on the Campeda plateau, in the Nuoro area.
Since its origins, the dairy has always been faithful to an artisanal production respecting the local typical still today the milk of its flock is transformed into the various types of cheese.
In over 200 hectares of land (50% arable land and 50% natural pasture), sheep can graze for the production of a strictly organic raw material.

This is a fundamental choice, due to the need to maintain homogeneity in the flavor of the milk, determined by soils rich in indigenous herbs such as the Campeda complexed clover, chives, etc. which give the cheese a unique flavor, soft and distinctly distinct from that of other areas of Italy.

 

Tradition and innovation

 

The food is enriched only with the addition of organic fodder produced on the farm, without chemical fertilizers. Animals are never treated with antibiotics or synthetic products.

The company’s pastures are the natural food of the flocks, which give milk, and therefore cheese, that delicate, unmistakable and pleasant taste of Sardinia.

Dechè cheeses are produced exclusively with milk obtained from Sardinian breed sheep raised on the farm. Even the rennet used for coagulation is obtained from Sardinian breed lambs.

 
The company is one of the producers of Fiore Sardo born as a PDO and includes a consortium of about 50 breeders who commit themselves to respecting the strict production regulations. The production specification provides for the certification of the entire production chain, right from the origin of the milk.

Furthermore, it is one of the very few producers of the Sardinian Fiore dei Pastori DOP, Slow Food Presidium.
