The Latteria Sant'Andrea, founded in 1936, is an agricultural cooperative located in Santandrà di Povegliano, in the province of Treviso. With over eighty years of experience, it represents a pillar of Venetian dairy tradition, producing fresh, aged, traditional, DOP, and organic cheeses exclusively from milk sourced from the farms of its members, all located in the province of Treviso.
Connection to the Territory
Latteria Sant'Andrea stands out for its deep connection to the Treviso territory. The farms of the contributing members are located within a 10 km radius of the cooperative's headquarters, ensuring a short and controlled supply chain. This proximity helps preserve the freshness and genuineness of the milk, which are fundamental elements for the quality of the cheeses produced.
Geographical Context and History
The territory of the province of Treviso is characterized by a mild climate and fertile land, ideal for cattle breeding. This combination makes the milk particularly suitable for producing high-quality dairy products. Latteria Sant'Andrea has always been an integral part of this tradition, passing down artisanal knowledge from generation to generation.
The cooperative pays great attention to the selection of raw materials and the production process. The milk used comes from carefully selected farms, where the cows are raised with care, respecting their well-being and the surrounding environment. Latteria Sant'Andrea is part of the Quality Verified (QV) system, promoted by the Veneto Region, which certifies the excellence of regional agri-food products.
Unique Characteristics of the Products
Among the flagship products is the Formaggio Sant'Andrea Vecchio, aged for 12 months. This cheese has a smooth, thin rind that hardens over time, becoming inedible. The paste is compact, straw-yellow in color, with a sparse and small texture, evenly distributed. The aroma is complex, with notes of butter, dried fruit, and hay, evolving during aging into hints of chestnut and spices.
Gourmet Pairings
The Formaggio Sant'Andrea Vecchio is ideal to enjoy on its own, accompanied by a good glass of structured red wine, or to be used in cooking to enrich traditional Venetian dishes. Its versatility makes it suitable both as a table cheese and as an ingredient for more elaborate recipes.
