Cossu Family
For fourth generations the Cossu family has paired Pecorini ancient history and passion to create cheeses with an authentic and genuine taste
it starts with
The freshest milk
Directly from the pastures
our territory is ideal for sheep farming and the milk production, being the island rich of history and traditions
“The Sarda” autochtone sheep breed feeds freely in the pastures among the green hills of Sardinia
Every morning the milk gets in our Dairy for the culturing into cheese
With respect to nature and all the people that are committed to making a better product
Every day we work with integrity to deliver the best quality and to elevate the Genuineness of our cheeses
At the receiving of the milk our quality experts perform the first tests and take samples to send out to the laboratory for testing
Along the phases of production or aging the wheels are tracked and checked with the appropriate tools
The cheese undergoes microbiological and nutritional analysis in obervance of the food safety disciplinary
The beneficial properties of the milk, together with a controlled selection of the rennet and natural ferments, give the cheeses an original taste
Our certifications:
DOP - IFS - Halal - Haccp

Who We Are
It’s a family tradition started in 1949 with the great grandfather Angelo and continued with “Nonno Demetrio”. He transformed the vision into mission, creating the Dairy for the production of Pecorino Sardo, Pecorino Romano, Caciotte and Ricotte, dedicating his life for the realization of a dream
First his children and then the grandchildren, together with the experienced workers of E.T. Formaggi, have contributed at the merging of tradition and innovation for a sustainable development
E.T. Formaggi is a dynamic company, focused to the new trends in the food industry
E.T. is the acronym of Essence & Tradition, another curious interpretation is that E.T. stands for “Extra-Terrestrial”, expression of the uniqueness of the Cossu cheeses
